Great shots of a fabulous team. When I was in the Air Force we used to say that the Blue Angels flew closer together and the Thunderbirds flew closer to the ground. I took a photo at Seymour Johnson probably fifty years ago where one of the base fire engines was out next to the runway and one of the T-Birds was actually lower than the top of the fire truck. Incredible skill.
Thank you.... and I totally agree with your assessment of both teams. I love to watch them both!

I see there is at least one other UHH member who has traveled to the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh Wisconsin. An incredible experience for anyone who loves aircraft.
These two photos were taken at Oshkosh just a couple years ago. The first is the Blue Angels 'Farvel', a pass made at just under 400 knots with the jets in their 'dirtiest' configuration..... gear and tailhook down. It is an amazing tribute to the true skill of these pilots and the unbelievable precision control of the FA18 Hornet. The second is the 'Echelon' formation..... remarkably close quarters.
Both taken with 7D Mk ii, Canon 100-400L IS, f8 at 1/500th and 1/640th of a second respectively.

First time posting here. These images are from a trip to Arches National Park a couple years ago. Bizarre weather day made things interesting. Were shot with a Canon G1X Mk II and have been post processed but not cropped. I've been more than pleasantly surprised by what that camera can do (but not so much that I leave the SLR at home). Hope they are to your liking.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!
I haven’t flown or worked on the B-57, but I’ve admired it as one of the truly ‘classic’ aircraft.
Conowingo Dam isn’t far from here and I have visited it. Several photographers on this forum have set the bar for “eagle photography” pretty high, and nothing I’ve taken is anywhere near the league of what I’ve seen here.... but I’ll keep trying.

Hello all! Strictly a (long time) amateur, I've played with photography for most of my 79 years. I use photography mainly to challenge myself and to try to find a measure of satisfaction in the results. It is a never ending quest. I like to shoot the outdoors and sports. Hardware used has been strictly Canon for the last 20+ years. Before digital, I used Mamiya, Minolta, Pentax, Olympus and Canon in that order. I've enjoyed the posts on this forum for a while, and frankly am in awe of many of the photos posted here.
The 'canberra' moniker is a tip of the hat to the British designed/built bomber that replaced their "Mosquito" and was subsequently built and modified by the Glenn L. Martin Co. in Baltimore. The US version was designated B-57.
