Virginia Air Show – Durban South Africa

Greetings all, first time poster here – must say I love the quality of the work on display here, and hope you don’t mind me sharing some of my South African air show coverage with you.

Few shots from my local, held on the 12th-13th July 2008. Wx was really grey, windy and crummy on Sat, however the practise days and Sunday blessed us photographers with some beautiful light. Hope you enjoy. All thumbnails are clickable.
