All depends on how many air show you do and who you meet. :) I've been going to air shows since I was 3, must have over 100 air shows under my belt. Just give it time. :)

Cool patch collection, I don?t have any either. I met another photographer that collected coins from the various demonstration groups. He had many. Too many hobbies and not enough time. :(

Airshows start out as something to do if you like airplanes. Then, for some of us, it becomes a way of life! And then you discover Aviation Photography, which brings us to not having enough hard drive space on our computers. Then you wake up very early to shop for related camera and computer equipment on Black Friday. I thought Thanksgiving was a time for family!

ABES of Maine too. Got my 30D from them. They are ok if you are not in a hurry. I think B&H is the best. I buy most of my stuff from them. They also mail you large catalogs and source books when you are a customer. ;)

Here is one of mine.  Its a B to keep them stuck.  I have sticky velcro and the heat loosens them up and they fall.

My favorite airplane is the F-117A.

I stated collecting Skunk Works / F-117A pathces and coins about 10 years ago.

I have hundreds of patches and probably 60 coins.

Being interested in advanced aircraft design, I also collect "Secret Project" stuff,a little F-22, B-2, YF-23 and F-35 stuff.

Someday I'll have all my patches and my aviation photography on a website. Someday.....

Thanks Josh, but it is more a matter of time.
I'm currently wrapping up my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.

Although I must admit, my last websites were HTML 4.0 Transitional. 
When I get around to it, I will need to catch up with the last half decade of web stuff.....
