American Heroes Air Show 2010 <rocker>
July 24, 2010
Hansen Dam Recreation Area
Lakeview Terrace, CA
Because we've gotten a host of questions since the first of the year about dates for the Los Angeles American Heroes Air Show we are attaching a prelim schedule showing the established dates for the Heroes events on the West Coast. Hope to see you all for the Los Angeles event on July 24th, 2010.
Thanks to everyone from Coast to Coast for joining us in the past and then posting their photos, comments and video on the Internet. Currently we count over 120 distinct photo galleries and videos posted across the social network landscape to profile the American Heroes Air Show.

Photographer credential application is now up for this year's event...looks like they're going to have the same pens for us...even though it's still 2 months away, doesn't hurt to plan early!
I was on my way to that show last year when a brush fire broke out right on the route I was planning to take. <laughing> Luckily I had my camera with me, I was forced to divert. ;)
This year, barring any fires that day - I plan to be there.

I was on my way to last years show when right as I got on the road suddenly there's a huge header right on my route. Needless to say I skipped out on the show. Turned out to be the fire that I had Phoschek dropped on me. Wouldn't trade it for anything. :D
Gonna miss this one this year, event conflict :'(

Kevin
Saw you there......sorry i didnt say hi......nice shots......probably 1/30.....or even 1/20
Keith just called and said Pavehawk departure was pretty good.

What speed did you shoot at for Agusta Kevin?
They were shot at 1/20th
I got down to 1/30 at one point. Pretty balsy in my book. <laughing>
Pavehawk departure was a DEFINITE crowdpleaser. Pitched the nose down and turned around, flew to the far east of the soccer field and reestablished a hover... Then dropped the nose and started blasting right towards us. Kept the nose down the entire length of the soccer field at about 20 feet off the deck. Went right over the crowd at about 50 feet at the MOST. :o
Here's a pair of shots from the departure. 8)
Here's another one to show the pitch attitude at it's most dramatic point, right when they pushed out of the hover and started to dig and come flying towards us. 8)
Coastie action.
Air 3 coming back from the red/blue/hidden white water drop. ;)
Edit, scratch that... this was the departure.
A stars from the show
Coast Guard HH-65
Fire Hawk
Really like the -65 shot KJ. 8)
I was waiting for some pothead idiot to talk about the Seahawk so I could punch them in the face. ;) <laughing>
Nice shots everyone........... :)
Wow Nate!! Nice shots!! I wish I could have stayed for the departures -- maybe next year!

Thanks Damon, it was nice seeing you, too. I like your shots of the Seahawks arriving. Great light. Next year I'm going to sign up for the arrivals.
