O, Woe is me!!
My annual trek to Pensacola for the Blue Angels Homecoming weekend just happened. No motorcycle content other than I rode over there. (I also got a performance award, but it was HEAVILY discounted! I guess being a good boy during the stop, and explaining every motion you make, like "my registration is in a baggie under the seat, my license is in my wallet inside the trunk case," etc. pays off. Along with a previously clean record for 25 or 30 years.... )
Anyway, some samples:
1.
2. A nice sun glint
3. A P-51 in the static display area. Unfortunately there were no WWII-era aircraft flying in the show this year!
4. I TOUCHED IT!!!!
5. Wingwalking at night!!
6. Jet truck at night!!!!
7. MIG-17 in a minimum radius afterburner turn. They said that it wasn't until the F-16 that the US had a fighter that could out-turn the MIG-17!
7. Most of these folks have no idea!!
8. I got a lot of good solo crosses
9. I was shooting at 1/160 to get good prop blur, and this Extra 540's roll rate is fast enough to show motion blur at the wingtips!
