Great shots Robert  8)

Did they do a sunday JATO? Or are you referring to Oceana? I saw somebody's JATO capture from the Miramar show and it looked like it was broad daylight, kinda surprised me.

Yep they did a Sunday JATO...Was good to see it, and pretty sure I'm 99% certain it will be the last I will ever see.  I got pictures, but he fired them off so, early (Way before center point) that he was directly in the sun when I snapped the pics and they were terrible.

Kevin, did you end up going?

Yup.  Still sorting through the 4.5GB of photos from Fri.

I was in the grandstands right in front of Snowbird #3.

What Realbigtaco said, I agree. FL is to far

You know i was wondering about this.  After talking to you an Jim (I think Jim said he had over 220 gb, may be wrong) about how much data you guys get, what do you do with it all?  I mean my external storage is only 320 gb, and DVD disc only hold what 4-8 gb. ???

Ok i finally got around to shooting RAW this past weekend, and good lord what a difference it made.  My Jpeg picture was boring and then the post processed picture looks a million times better.  Although i'm sure i am preaching to the choir here but i might need to start shooting RAW all the time now.

Here are 2 favorites from Thursday morning:

Great to see you again Robert, not a great day for shooting, horrid lighting out there, typical SoCal show position. Sorry i didnt make it to section 2, when do you go to Edwards? I may see you there, none of my other buddies are going. Cant make Nellis, after Edwards it might be Cable before i shoot any airplanes, gotta take the 100-400mm in for service, the zoom barrel gets stuck once in a while :P

Havent gone thru my shots from Sunday yet (havent started processing Reno yet =P), here are a couple quickies. BTW, the whole reason i shot from the east end, can be summed up by the third shot posted below.....WOW!!!

I'll give you a shout this week, L8R
