Going to try on May 3rd.  Usually spend 1/2 time at base and other 1/2 at Museum.  Follow the light (behind you)

You guys want to meet up before the show? I've never shot this one. Anyone know the best places to set up camp?

I usually shot 1/2 the day on base and the other half at the museum (fee)  I am going on the 3rd.

Sounds good, I will be there both days. I have only been there once before, but it was fun shooting from the crowd line on base. I have not been on the museum side yet :P

Thanks for letting me tag-a-long with you and your dad. It was a great show with the Cal Fire DC-10 demo the highlight for me. Yeah, the light on the museum side was better for the second half of the show but some of the passes were too far towards the base crowd line to really get a good shot. A lot of my shots have heat wave problems.

Got back at about 7:30PM :o What a killer weekend <rob> You guys didn't miss much today. Bad lighting on eather side. Thunderbirds had maintenance and timing problems, and the great wall of dirt >:D The museum definitely had better light after 1PM. I think in 2010 I will still be on the base side though. Most of the show has good lighting except for the flight team. But we have seen them so many times I don't know if it maters that much. Also static photos had great lighting after Saturdays show. Jim (Sparkvark) and I shot till they kicked us out <rocker> Great seeing everybody again. I will post some tomorrow, to tired for now <sleep>

Killer DC-10 photos  :o The Cal Fire DC-10 demo was a dream come true. I thought they were joking when Gordon announced that the DC-10 was going to do a fly by and then do a 10,000 gallon drop <xmas> Christmas came early this year <cheers>

Some photos from base side <present>

Thanks, great shooting, Damon, Glenn, and Eric. Did not see the small C17, very cool ;)

Anybody care to weigh in on the alleged "Sonic Boom" debate on Fencecheck. I did not hear one but some people at the museum side called me and said there was one >:D

Saw that, hopefully he did not (not to get in trouble) I know it was requested to get back on topic on FC after a while.   Was not there so can't say.
