T.Y. Kevin I'm  planning to be in an area at the south end of the Quay Wall pier at NAS North Island  for the 11:30 practice and maybe for the 2 PM practice as well. Traffic flow really sucks going off NAS until the 25th as the Beach Gate is closed for road construction.

If I remember what I read in the Day and Night section of the U-T Newspaper of thursday. Flying satrts at 2 PM on Saturday and at 1 PM on Sunday for those planning to attend. I'll be on the Coronado side on friday and on saturday.

Hi APsocalers, The weather over the southern portion of San Diego county was cloudy, cool, windy and a bit foggy. So as a result, the 10AM, 11:30, 2PM  practices were all washed out. I did not stick around for the 2:45 Practice so I was not able to get even one pic of a Red Bull Air Racer today. On the way home about 5 miles north of the race course the weather was bright sunshine and a good 5-10 degrees warmer.

Saw the Red Bull Helo go over the house heading north back to Camarillo.

Nice shots rander, how far away were you?  Or what lens did you use.

I will post my Sat photos this week sometime taken from the South Embarco by the Media Center.

I met the 3 Hornet Drivers from VFA-94(?) from Lemoore. 

They looked at my shots on my camera to critique themselves for Sunday's flybys.
