Should be fun. The wife and I are going.
Ill be there with the fam.
Looks like an interesting day out could be lots to laugh at
Thanks for the heads up Kevin, I have posted it to the calendar ;)
Seriously considering going. Probably gonna risk it and only bring the 200-400, and not carry my shorter lenses and backup body. The 200-400 is more than a handful on its own ;)
If you see someone there with a Nikon 200-400 on a monopod, its probably me, say hi.
I was going to bring my 24-105 and 100-400. I did see personal camera on the list of things you can bring. It was not specific so I hope we can get in ok. Camera restrictions is the reason I don't go to X-Games anymore...

Technically my 200-400 is part of my personal camera kit ;) I saw that too on their list, I'll argue with the person at the gate, not that it'll probably do any good.
Yea camera restrictions are terrible.... I think since there isnt a fee to get in, they might be a little lax on the checking as you "come in". at least here's to hoping.
Nice to speak with you on the phone Matt. Hope to meet you at one of the events in the area. Looking forward your your pictures from the other side.....

Nice to speak with you on the phone Matt. Hope to meet you at one of the events in the area. Looking forward your your pictures from the other side.....
same here. Sorted through my pictures yesterday, the plan is to have them up tonight. Your HH-65 (proper) I think are way better than mine since i had the wonderful opportunity to shoot into the sun for that :-/

Guess at your angle/location your were shooting more into the sun :-\ I had to add a little shadow lightening to my shots.
Looking forward to yours.
A short summary of the day's frivolities :P
lots of nose dives... the record (yellow biplane) managed ~100 feet. last I checked a L/D isn't that good, actually terrible - almost as bad as the space shuttle (at subsonic speeds).
all the rest of my HH-65 pictures have completely blown out skies, and well theres laziness to consider. I upload the pictures on my laptop with built in card reader, and have CS4 on my 64-bit desktop. its all so much work, lol!!!!
now off to the gym to make sure when the next airshow comes around I can still lift the 200-400 ;)
Nice ones Matt
Here are a few...
Uh oh...
:)
Ouch!!
:)
:D
:)
;)
:D
;D
:D
Great shots Jim, did not realize you were going. You got the good seat on the grassy knoll.
Thanks Damon! It was "iffy," but I'm glad I was able to make it.
Jim
