    Connor,

    The overcast skies were really on your side, your shots are wonderful.

    So all were taken with your Nikon D500 and the 500mm lens?

        Thanks Dawg!! I definitely made sure I had the camera set to combat the overcast right from the start. On Saturday it has a huge challenge. And I can't think of a better situation to stress how important it is to shoot RAW if you're serious about photos. Sunday the clouds were more broken up and detailed, which was seriously epic!

        All of the aerials and the Mustangs warming up were with the D500 & 200-500 (both rentals, I don't own them, yet). Some of the ground stuff was with my 16-80 on the D500 or my D7100. The shot of the Zero in the puddle was with my 10-24 on the D7100. I'll link some stuff from Flickr once I have the album up, so you can check out all the EXIF data.

              Awesome to see both of them airborne together! BTW, the "CAF" Yak is actually owned by Steve Barber and is just based at the CAF SoCal wing. Looks like the radiator door is quite a bit open.

                  Good to know! The CAF SoCal wing posts about it like it is a CAF bird of theirs. It certainly fits in quite well with their stable!

                    I worked very hard to save the money to go this year and it was way beyond my expectations. Really glad I made the effort to get there! I know what its like to be stuck at home for this show, so I figure sharing my photos is the least I can do.

                      My Flickr Album is up!

                      Here's a few more highlights that I haven't shared yet.

                      Easily the most, ridiculously rare formation ever seen

                      The highlight of the Sunday show was the "extended Navy Flight" The Friedkin Corsiar had mx issues which meant no aerobatics from it and resulted in the Navy Flight being up for 20 minutes! I felt I had enough with the telephoto that I busted out the wide.

                          Thanks Samuel! I am still kicking myself for not getting a good shot of all 5 together on Saturday. That said, I don't think I've ever seen more than one together in the air at once so a picture of 4 together is pretty fine by me!

                            Do you know who the other SBD belongs to besides the POF one?

                              Not sure how I missed this, sorry about that! It belongs to the Erickson Collection. Their Corsair was also there. It's an F4U-7 if I remember correctly
