This is definitely off topic, but we all need our daily Warbird fix right? Most of you probably saw something about the TBM Avenger reunion that was held last weekend in Peru, IL. It was a really great event; very photographer-friendly, great weather, they had 10 TBMs, over 200 other airplanes and I think 10,000+ spectators. Best of all it was free!!
The Friday night before was something extraordinary for anyone that happened to be there, 6 TBMs participated in a Sunset photo flight and then returned against a sunset as good as any I've ever seen.
A few of my photos -and side note for any Nikon users here, this was my second outing with their new-ish 200-500mm lens, it is an exceptional lens for its price tag.
