Fantastic image. Aren't Airshows great!! Tony & I went (to the one John missed out on) & never even got any lunch, once the show started we were mesmerised & could spare the time to go & get food!!! Now my computer is up & running, I'll have to enter a few to show you. Well taken=^..^= #8959163

Thanks Chris I know what you mean about missing lunch. I missed as well drank 6 bottles of water but still had a heat stroke in 120 degree heat on the tarmack. EMTs took me to my car in the Ambulance, cooled me down in the AC and I was fine (with a heck of a lot of great shots). I will check your site as I get internet connection (I will be down in some pretty rough canyons taking photos of Rock Art with the Pecos Experience over the next week). Rock on and loved your capture with the amazing afterburner. #8961223

I am in awe of your Thunderbird images. I am glad you recovered quickly and got quite a few great shots in before you had heat stroke. I've seen the Blue Angels and know what an incredible experience it is. #10071169
