If the C-17 demo is anything like the one I saw at the El Centro on the 14th, you will be impressed with what the aircraft can do.

Speaking of C-17 Demo - anyone heard from TIm ("Flying Whale") recently?
He has been quite quiet.

Sweet! Im taking my 300mm, but maybe the air show experts might have a different suggestion? ;D
I ALWAYS take the 100-400.....

The 1 to 4 is probably the most Popular Canon air show lens. With the D50 your 70-300 becomes equivalent to a 105-450mm with the crop factor. That should do.

Come on, man. Give us a little more than that. :D

Ok, what is going on at KTOA that we are missing out on ???
I don't thinks so.
But, I'm really thinking of not going to that and going to Riverside cause all the action is going to be there, nothing is going to be flying at Ktoa, maybe put the T-6 outside of the hangar to make room for chairs & tables etc. just a Club gathering/ meeting
you know I cant make up my mind ???
Wait... What's going on at KTOA? I'm so lost right now...

The USN legacy flight has been cancelled.

Also packing and charging now so to be ready for Saturday(and might go out Friday night, well see)
We hope to get there before 7am as thats when the gates open I thing for the public and the carshow. Or maybe earlier for the carshow. Exit is Van Buren right?

Yeah I got shots of the bell 212 I think, of the CDF #301 and of the CBP A-Star. I met one of the pilots(had conversed via email prior hes a CAF pilot of PT-22) and talked about the CBP their helos and got a cockpit shot too.
Nice! ;) I was talking to one of the C-17 pilots... he flies helicopters as a civilian and a C-17 in the military... that's so cool. <thumbsup>
Also great shots Robert and Fernando.
Fernando is that the fastest thing you shot so far? Not slow like the helos ;D
Yep that was my first fastest aircraft I've shot... <laughing> ;) <thumbup>
