I'll be there for sure. Last year the Riverside airshow happened on my Grandpa's birthday and this year it lands on my Grandma's birthday. Back in 2010, the Riverside Airshow took place on my Uncle's birthday. I hope that one year it will land on my birthday. Cool

if I manage to barrow a camera I will try to make it...

Unfortunatley my schedule does not include Riverside.  Was hoping to see Vipers from the 144th but maybe next year if they still have Det at March ARB.

I'll be there also.  Seen the 2 A-10 on the ground, 2 F/A 18's landed a bit earlier

First airshow with the little ones today, only walked around for a couple of hours before leaving.  I think I took a single photo of the A-10 tails.

Couldn't help but notice how thin the crowd was to previous years.

Looking forward to seeing what I missed.

Nice little show. The weather finally started to clear after the show was over,

Riverside PD demo.

Then this nice L-39 made a couple of passes.

The Riverside Airshow was lots of fun despite the cool and cloudy weather. My favorite performers were the  Warbird fly bys.

Hi everyone, I had a great time at Riverside even though the weather was a little grim.
It was fun meeting up with some of you and getting a chance to swap stories. Here are a few of the images I was able to capture.

I didn't realize the images would be this large, I will definitely tone it down on my next posts.

haha, those are big!!  But when the quality is that good i think it's alright!!  Nice pics, especially with the conditions.

What was your shooting info (at least for the last couple)? EXIF appears to be clipped.

It looks like those two were shot at 320th @ F-14 and 200 ISO which is the default ISO for the D-300. using 300mm AF lens.
