They were overhead and everyone had stopped on the freeway to see them. Brave pilots. Smart pilots.

We'd often see air shows, too, and I remember seeing a few with my boys when they were young. But the base closed 20-25 years ago, and it's been a long time since I've seen one. I remember watching them in awe.

My son thought they wouldn't allow cameras with detachable lenses, but there were a few there. I used a 12X optical zoom, high shutter speed and panned, but it took some practice since the jets were so fast. I had to click as the nose entered the frame. There were no safety problems at this show.<br /><br />ACIL, cue, Haddock, thanks!<br /><br />Elizabeth, it's the hair although mine is a bit grayer. I wish I'd gotten a shot of the biplane, but I was too enthralled to remember my camera. I can see how acts such as these could inspire your marvelous novels.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-40876187277746738482015-09-17T03:48:41.054-04:002015-09-17T03:48:41.054-04:00this has nothing to do with planes, but my goodnes...this has nothing to do with planes, but my goodness your kid looks like you! :D<br /><br />We go to a lot of air shows - the biplane stunts really were the inspiration for BDWR, so it makes sense they should call it to mind for you! We have seen this act in several different incarnations (they've had different sponsors over the years) and I just think they are so awesome! (I got to try it myself last year. Yup.): <br /><br />http://www.aerosuperbatics.com/E Weinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589774091145087020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-27387588179483579662015-09-17T00:00:45.306-04:002015-09-17T00:00:45.306-04:00That inside shot of the transport jet is really gr...That inside shot of the transport jet is really great.Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573906991666088642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-24843979567181237912015-09-16T22:36:23.137-04:002015-09-16T22:36:23.137-04:00Wow the photos are so clear and capture the jets s...Wow the photos are so clear and capture the jets so well.

The shows are very impressive though and those 18 inch you've mentioned takes my breath away… Petra Pavlátkováhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703286779861972964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-30791440515049565192015-09-16T08:23:24.654-04:002015-09-16T08:23:24.654-04:00Safety concerns kept me away from air shows when m...Safety concerns kept me away from air shows when my kids were small (not just the planes but the crowds) but curiosity won us over. Even so, we chose to sit far back from the runway. I value your warning as an air traffic controler all the more.

That all changed when the crash in Ramstein happened in 1988. I can clearly still remember the terror and how the local news in Germany called for blood donors for weeks. It hit us really hard over there. Ever since then I will never, ever be at an air show. The footage was really scary and it hit quite close to home.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.com
