The rest of the pictures are showing the Blue Angels’ F/A-18s and their show. I think no further comment is needed for those pics!

Please note: The Blue Angels have their homecoming airshow this weekend at NAS Pensacola. I guess they are at their best during the season – so if you are within 5hrs of Pensacola: No excuse! 🙂

Questions, comments or tips as greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your comments!

The RNoAF are looking closer at three candidates; The SAAB Gripen, the Eurofighter and the JSF. When they are replaced is for me unknown, but mabye in 15 years or so? (Never walked on ice this thin before, making that guess)…

First of all; thank you for all kind comments! That’s what driving me personally towards posting and posting. (Too often forgetting about this forum – I must start remembering you too:) )

I am very glad to hear there are more people than myself with “a thing” for detail-photos. That’s my fav. kind of photography, especially when I get to walk freely among aircraft and do whatever I want in whatever angle I need 🙂 Not happening among airliners but there the 300mm takes care of those problems regarding distance from the metal birds.

Someone (007peter) asked if I was well wrapped; and to that I can reply AFFIRM! Hehe. The temperature was below freezing and I thought I lost the feeling in my toes some times but … what don’t you do for some testshots? 🙂 Been there once before in worse weather.

I am very happy with the lens; it works absolutely fantastic. You may also see the picture below I shot using the same lens. It’s showing a friend of mine on top of his MC before putting it away for the winter. Guess he wanted a picture to make him stay motivated through the winter period.

Hear hear 🙂
I’d like to have an S76 or B222 (yes because of the TV series) but I don’t think my summer bonus will cover the expense 😉
