Excellent shots, gentlemen.

Ditto, great shots guys. Thanks for the heads up Duy, but yes the OC fair was cool. Closing weekend, had to go

Wow, today was definitely one of the best I've had in quite a while.  Fernando, Kevin Joyce, and Garik 85, it was a pleasure meeting and chatting with you all.  Chilibean and Keith, good to see you again, as always.

Also, this is my first time shooting military fighters, so please feel free to drop a suggestion or two about photographing these bad boys.  I tip my hat to these pilots and it was an honor to shake hands with all of them.  They have renewed my respect for them and what they have contributed to our country.  This has been a truly unforgettable day and I only hope for plenty more.  Thanks everyone for showing up to share this with me.  Cheers!  

Here are some photos to get this started....

All look great Waite till you get your 100-400L. It just gets better

Oh man, I cannot wait!  I just hope it arrives in time for Camarillo.  Talk about a stomp in the guts if it doesn't
