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!

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:

Every single shot is incredible, but this:

... wow.

Bedhead · #13 Posted **Aug 24, 2011, 9:49 PM**

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

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

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

Nineties Flava · #15 Posted **Aug 25, 2011, 4:38 PM**

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

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

^ 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.

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

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.
