Both are amazing shots. I had to stare at #1 for a bit to figure it out. Great job.
Thank you! I probably had more fun with the camera for a week at Oshkosh than anywhere I've been.

Great shots!! Been there frequently. It’s a paradise for those that like to shoot all vintages and eras of aviation ... both in the air and on the ground.
Thank you, and I agree!

There is no other experience like Oshkosh and your pictures are outstanding.
Thanks!
2017 was the 75th anniversary of the USAF, as well as the Doolittle raid on Japan (there were 20+ B25's there to commemorate that event). The Blue Angels flew three separate days. I spent the week there and still didn't get to see everything.

Great pics. One corrective comment, 400 kts is way above the gear down speed.
Thanks! I appreciate the correction.

Great shots of the Angels at OSH, did you see Frechi Trichlori or the Snowbirds? My poor pix of all the years "AiVentures" aren't UHH quality and buried as well. 2020 would have been 43rd Volunteering year but got there virtually anyway. We haven't missed much in the aeronautical world over the years, big, small (as in tiny), homebuilt, and foreign. Just saw where Air Force "team" are to be there this year, hope, hope, go away Corona. JimM

I did not see Frechi Trichlori or the Snowbirds at Oshkosh. I’ve only made it there once (it checked a BIG item on my “bucket list”). Glad I could be there for the whole week.

We saw them practicing down at their base in Pensacola, Florida. What a show. Are they still doing shows not that we got the phony covid deal going on.

I believe they have a full 2021 schedule beginning in April.
