Salinas, California Air Show 2016

I went to the air show after two years gap and predictably made some rookie mistakes. Anyway, here are some samples:
I did not realize my zoom was at 70 instead of 400mm. Had I zoomed full, it would have been a great shot.

I did not realize my shutter was 1/1600 instead of 1/2000 or faster. You can see slight motion blur instead of tack sharp images.

A77II or one of the older cameras?

A77II. It did very well. It was pilot error that caused the soft photos.
