American Airlines do it at DFW with MD80’s and used to do it with 727’s (have been on both whilst doing so) The only thing to watch for is no applying the brakes too quick or you may end up on the tail.
if you leave the lens in mode 1 when panning you are constantly fighting against the IS doing its job – so it is easier to use mode 2 when panning (or at airshows in general)
I was there – the WOW factor was not as high as the first time but it is still an impressive event. Thought the warbirds were good but the warbirds in the Saturday flying display were a bit disappointing compared to last year (only 1 B17 flying) Highlight for me was a B17 flight but the Raptor display was excellent as well.
I have the 20D and have the ‘in camera’ sharpening set to soft because I would rather be able to add the necessary amount of sharpening myself (using unsharp mask) rather than have it added by the camera. If the camera adds too much that I cannot undo it whereas by having the camera nothing I can choose how much to add.
I do recall a Popham cap somewhere and I did mean to ask about it, as it is my local airfield and am a regular visitor there with a sales stand for a local aviation society. (hope to be there this Sunday wx permitting)
agree with your comment – it is only a hatch above radio operator location as there would not have been a mid upper turret there. Cannot confirm if the top turret at the front is a real one. (would it be mid upper as it is not in the centre of the fuselage like the BBMF Lancaster).
Bob,
one of the others did exactly that – gave us a good laugh 🙂
Harry Potter & Order of the Phoenix – film was good but what made it special for me was I saw it in a ‘drive in’ cinema in the USA – a first for me as these are getting quite rare.
