Aviation thread!

Yup, I also have trouble keeping the fast jets in the frame. When I attempted to take photos of an F-16 they were all either blurry or not in the center of the frame . Nice camera though!

The AFB gifts us with some great views occasionally. No good pics of the C-130s yet.

Cool thread!
I got this picture at an air show a few years ago; I just wish it wasn’t so blurry

There's an airshow about an hour from us called EAA in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We go most years, but it's gotten so big you can't even get through the whole thing in one day, so I'm not sure if we'll go this summer or not.

"an airshow" is underselling it. Oshkosh is THE airshow, maybe only matched by RIAT in England. it's plane nerd nirvana, and its on my bucket list.

Late to the party, but I brought gifts!

First off, a P-51D

Then my girl, the B-17 known as Sentimental Journey. She's based here in Phx and I see her often

And Fifi. When I took these she was the only airworthy B-29 left. Now Doc has been recertified too, and Big Time Operator is undergoing restoration (no ETA though.)

F-22 has been on my bucket list to see. I went last year to the Augusta airshow and saw them. That was my first actual airshow, and it was a blast. Definitely tricky keeping them in frame. Would love to try again one day...
