Oh my yes I am in love. Thanks for posting them Sammy. If I had to pick a favorite as tough as it is I love the helicopter shot and I gotta tell you I'm not much of a fan of 'em. The angle is right, the light is gooooodddd despite the sun being in the wrong place etc. :thumbup

One more thing. I like a bunch of the Red Arrows shots. Tough to get 'em right isn't it?

 

[sammy39]

Thanks...as I said, its mostly red arrows/the blades as I am a big fan of them but i will see what else I can dig out and i will post 2010 stuff 2morrow..

Oh my... and a Vulcan bomber no less. You must have taken that quite a few years ago cuz they were retired a while ago. There's a private society in the UK that's in the process of restoring one. Once finished it will be the only one flying in the world. One used to come to our show every year and was a real magnet for getting people to come. It's an amazingly large aircraft and very agile for it's size.

I have one shot of it that I scanned from my slide archives.

Yeh..im really not a plane enthusiast so I have no idea what planes are what (exception:red arrows!)...didnt really understand the hype around the vulcan...but i suppose if its only one out of 2 that are still flying then i suppose its a big deal!

 

[sammy39]

I think I may have better one of the Vulcan this year..

You mean to tell me there's one flying now? You took a shot of it this year? God bless you! I'm so jealous I could just squish a grape.

Because it's an amazing aircraft. Despite it's huge size it can turn on a dime. And it's loud... real loud and crowds love that. Oh I could just die to see another one in flight.
