Re: AirVenture 2016
Some highlights from Tuesday's airshow!
Darn good day all around, that was made especially great by the unexpected arrivals of the A-10's!
Can't go wrong with the "Queen Bee"

Re: AirVenture 2016
Spectacular work, Connor. I really wish you and some of the other younger guys here would join Nikonians and post some of this stuff in their aviation forum. Too many old guys like me over there -- they need some young blood.
That last shot is not an F-15. Truly wonderful shot, though.

Re: AirVenture 2016
One of the Snowbirds experienced a bird strike just as they were beginning their performance this afternoon, not sure which aircraft was hit. The pilot called out the strike and the formation leveled out and the aircraft that experienced the strike dropped from the formation and landed. A quick inspection, took off and he rejoined the formation.

Neal I plan on joining once the dust from this week settles!
Good catch on the F-16, obviously I know that's not an F-15. Just a typo on my part -it's what happens when I post this stuff late at night hahaha!

Here's a few more this time from Friday, better late than never right?
A U-2 did the National Anthem fly over and demonstrated its ability to fly through crappy weather!

A sweet jet formation! The Sabre with red markings is Paul Keppeler's newly completed restoration, it's a stunner!

It was a treat to see this flying! I sat in it a couple times in the Museum when I was a kid.
