B-17 Yankee Lady has been added to the website, pretty sure it'll be flying since all of the other warbirds are. :D

Sadness Double-plus on the Starfighters :cry: , I think that means that I'm gonna scratch Selfridge and save my nickels for Windsor.

Not the best weather, nice array of acts however, even if the 'static' F-22s did not arrive.

For Tyssen, saw that you could not make it. I got soaked and left before 1:30PM today, yesterday was a nice day though.

Nice shots; it's certainly been a rough year for weather. I'll have to wait for another show for my first B-1 in flight (well first since going digital anyhow...).

Thanks for the positive replies everyone. Mike, I visit your URL and really like the bird and aviation photos that you take. Tyssen, the response to the B-1 was not as strong as I had hoped, where I was situated, people in the crowd were a bit laid back, but I was left of 'show centre'. It left the airspace in a dramatic fashion, with wings swept back and in reheat...disappearing into the clouds. Perhaps it is a reflection of my age, but I have not seen one flying since they had the older / non-regulated 'SAC' schemes, it really is a great plane.

Looks as though the forecast for the weekend looks good for Windsor, I'll try to choose the day with less humidity and haze.

Cheers,

Joe

I'm just glad I got some good pictures on Friday since Sunday was such a disaster. Bill, you've inspired me to take a second look at some of my cloudy shots and see if they can come out as good as yours.
