Re: California Capital Airshow

Yeah, I thought that was what had happened yesterday during the performance of the T-Birds - a bird strike! Overall, I was pleased with all the aircraft I saw performed including the aerobatic
performances of the Sukhoi monoplane pilot! Btw, awesome photos including the Raptor, PappyB! I was positioned near the fence line where the Raptor, Strike Eagle and two T-Bird Vipers were parked at,
so I was able to get a pretty decent view of those jets up close and personal. Oh btw, this afternoon I was sitting outside my backyard lounging by the pool area when the U-2 passed by overhead - great treat after seeing it accompanied by two black T-38s from Beale.

I don't have a camera anywhere near as nice as PappyB. But he dared me to post some so here they are (sorry, they are not in Pappy's league at all):

Re: California Capital Airshow

Nice Black6! -- like how you got the F-15 in the frame with the "bomb drop" (heard the fire got a bit out of control today... )
