This is from 2007 air show (last one I attended) and regrettably they are cancelled now
due to budget cuts. Soon after, I bought Tammy 200-500 and never had a chance to use
it. :(

Taken with A100 (remember anyone?) and Minolta 70-210 (I think)

I've only seen the Blue Angels once before in the UK probably back in the 1990's and I have to say they were stunning.
I prefer them to the USAF team The Thunderbirds.
Thanks for the memories.

Very nice Sury, there are few airshows where I am now. I used to have it great living in Biggin Hill (they had many famous airshows in the past)
Sadly that was when I was very young.

All exciting shots, Sury, but I really like the second one. Great composition with the three cockpits in the frame. :)

I got them in 2011 at the Fargo airshow. They flew right over our house so I watched from the back yard.

It's not Hornet, but it can fly too. :) I'm not so sure It's right topic or not for my shot.

We are not that stickler for details Valery. :lol: This is all about enjoying the photos.
I like the effect of piercing through the clouds. Great timing.

That's one of those shots where composition, lighting and timing come together. Very well done Valery!
