Very nice and some difficult shooting. What kind of equipment were you using?

Thank you. Yes this year was much tougher than last year. Last year I was using a much faster shutter speed and froze the props. This year I slowed the shutter speed to 1/200 and had to follow the planes very closely. And when these guys are going 250+ MPH it takes some doing.
The action shots were taken with my Canon 70D and a Canon 100-400mm lens. All shots were taken hand held and a lot of them didn't come out so good but I had a heck of a good time trying!

So, a 160-640, effective. That's some pretty good panning! I imagine the new spectators' seating, pushed back, wouldn't have made much difference with the kind of reach you had. Again, nice shots - not unlike a bird in flight (though a plane is a bigger target, it also moves a heck of a lot faster!)

Nice shots! It's refreshing to see that someone on this board understands about prop blur.
I believe you meant to say F22 Raptor with the P51.
Again, good series.

You are absolutely right! where'd the Hornet come from? It is a Raptor and thank you for your comments.
