The Blue Angels are amazing! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! - I'm always amazed that pilots can fly with such precision!
ReplyDeleteAs I type this comment my middle son is likely jumping from an airplane....his second solo skydive. Shudder....but it takes people with his kind of nerve to do the kinds of things you captured so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I have not seen anything liek it since I was a child ans we lived in a town with military aircraft.
ReplyDeleteSusan, this looks like a wonderful event. I haven't been to an air show in years.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived on the farm the planes from the air shows in St Louis would fly over our house. That was always fun also.
