Great show at Goldsboro, NC today!
Very nice. What setup are you using, Camera & lens?

Really nice work!
2 & 3 appeal to me especially; 2 because of the virtually perfect spacing between the Falcon's and 3 because of the skill required to do that maneuver. Flew some formation a while back and always needed visual contact so you could align reference points to give the desired position. Don't think these guys used that technique. Wonder what the feelings were the first time they attempted this?

Thanks, Bill! Everything the pilots and crew do, from the time they step on the air strip, is so perfectly timed.

Thanks, Michael! Yes, it was a beautiful day. That's the first time I have seen them in 30 years. My 16 year old son and I went, spent the night, and had a great time. :thumbup:
