Yes. I know. I've once again posted too many photos. But how do you choose from over 300?
I snapped these shots (and snapped them very quickly, I might add) at the Fallon Air Show featuring the Blue Angels.
Who says size doesn't matter?

Swampy,The Blue Angels are a Joy to watch just as The Air Force Thunderbirds are a joy as well.

They do put on a great show, don't they... first time I saw them was in the 1960's and what an impression they made on me. Great shots!

I LOVE the Blue Angels!! I've seen them perform many times, at the huge annual air show in our area (EAA AirVenture).

How cool is that! You got some fantastic photos! I especially love the first one of the photographers pointing their cameras straight up. I have NEVER seen the Blue Angels and I'll bet there is nothing like being there in person!
p.s. love your sweater!

Great pictures, Swampy! I always loved seeing them at the Oklahoma Air Show in OKC. Speaking of lenses... how big is YOURS?

These are great!! I have to admit I think my favorite is the first one. Perhaps that's because I understand lens envy.
