Got down to the Dover AFB show yesterday. Was working on a tight schedule though as I had to get back for the Eagles vs. Cowgirls game....I went to the parking lot when the warbirds came up because I heard that they were stopping traffic when the Thunderbirds went up....and I was kind of upset cause I came for the warbirds....turns out, the parking lot was even better as they flew their patterns right over me! Got home just in time for kickoff. Here's a few pics. I was using a new camera so I'm still learning the ins and outs of it, but here you go....

Very nice man. THat is a good camera you got. The Dover trip is on, I will call you this week.

Yes, those are great pics! What kind of camera did you get?

[Waltz41]

I just bought a panasonic dmc-FZ50. its not an SLR but a bridge camera (in between a point and shoot and DSLR). i like that it has a manual zoom ring on the lens, and the lens has no extension, it's all internal. i did a lot of research on it, and it's the best thing i could get for the money. someday i'll go DSLR but it's just too much considering you need to buy a telephoto lens to a bout 400mm, so you are easily looking at $1500 for that.
so far so good, but there's a lot i need to play with first on it and get the feel for shooting with it.

Wow! Just look at that weather! Fantastic day for it. And nice pictures take the cake. I particularly like the shot of the incoming F-86s.

Great pictures there Waltz.
Your camera does really well for the action shots of the F-86's.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Great pics!...I think someone should spraypaint "DON'T BE LIKE ME" across the top of the wings of the "other" C-5..
