That's the money shot there! :yes:

[Steely Dan]

amazing shots. we had some really good air visibility-wise on sunday for the show, as witnessed in the clarity of these shots. nice work!

[ChiTownCity]

Okay if you for some strange reason haven't felt like it yet then these shots should undoubtly seal the deal on how great your investment was!!!! It feels nice to be able to actually speak with someone that is capable of shots like these:

and I hope you're selling these as posters......

[Nineties Flava]

Every single shot is incredible, but this:

... wow.

[Bedhead]

If they weren't here in front of me, I'd say it was impossible to get shots like this.

[antoine-c]

I've rarely seen something so nice...
Take my hat off to the photographer :worship:

Even if I wonder how there is no cloud on almost every photo... except for the last one ;)

[Nineties Flava]

Wait, I just noticed that one of these things is not like the others.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6198/6063983204_9de353def9_b.jpg

How close was it flying to the actual show? I can't imagine the crew wasn't aware of it...

[Steely Dan]

^ that KC-135 tanker was a part of the air show. it made several passes overhead along with other military aircraft such as the F-16s, F-18s, and A-10s pictured in this thread.

[BnaBreaker]

You have magic powers! It's the only explanation for these incredible photos.

[Nowhereman1280]

Aircraft are quite possibly the only things on earth that rival skyscrapers in their beauty and level of human achievement...

Yea I saw the "Air Force" label under the cockpit right after you posted that.

[Sekkle]

these are absolutely amazing! I'm blown away with the quality here.

[Danny]

These pictures are really spectacular, i_am_hydrogen!:worship:

You´re a professional of photography!

Thank you very much for showing us these wonderful pictures.

Congratulations and greetings from Madrid, Spain!:tup:

[damn_sam]

Omg......amazing pics!

[Okayyou]

Killer shots. Could you hear the booms on the ground?

[giovanni sasso]

holy CRAP.

[Serenade]

Very misleading thread title. Where's the water? j/k. Great photos.

[i_am_hydrogen]

Thanks everyone for the amazing responses.

Killer shots. Could you hear the booms on the ground?

These jets were not permitted to break the sound barrier, as that would shatter the windows of nearby buildings. The jets with vapor cones surrounding them were flying at 700mph, just under the speed of sound.

[bnk]

again awe pics....:worship:

Were you on ground level or on top of a roof top?

[KevinFromTexas]

Great pics as always. I saw on the news that the air show had come up again, and immediately remembered your thread from last year and wondered if you'd do another. :tup:

[diskojoe]

very impressive.

[greg1701]

I simply don't have that skill or equipment in my toolbox :)

terrific.. thanks for sharing...
