F/A 18 Hornet

[sury]

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.

Thank you Mike, Barry and Andy. Show must come to an end...

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

Nicely captured, Kenneth.

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. This is all about enjoying the photos.
I like the effect of piercing through the clouds. Great timing.

That jet through the cloud is sweet! Thanks for letting us see it.

Cracking shot Valery

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