Hi
This was the first of four airshows I went to in the United States and all in Texas during October 2019. This was one was held at Fort Worth Alliance aifield about a 40 minute drive from my hotel
It was sunny, very warm but not humid.
Equipment used was an 80D and 100-400 mm Canon lens for most of the flying display with a few wider angle shots was taken with a 5D Mk IV with 24-105 mm lens.
Whilst I would have preferred to take static shots with my 5D Mk IV and 24-105 lens, I rapidly found it was easier to us the 80D and EFS 10-18 lens using at a closer distance to reduce the number of people likley to walk between the aircraft and the camera.
I also had a 1.4 converter for the flying but I never had any compelling need to us it at any of the shows. I left my 500 mm lens back in the UK.
