the above were taken with a Canon 7D with a Tamron 18-270 VC... other than the aperture sticking a few times, the Tamron kept up with the high frame rate of the 7D, and generally kicked out some good photos.

The 7D was MADE for air shows, it'd be the one thing I'll miss it for (since gone to FF).

The image was my first attempt at stitching multiple shots together as a panorama.

My last mission in the AF, March 2009, flight deck of a C-130E. A 1962 model aircraft. Talk about high-tech...

thanks! I really love that shot. I attribute it good timing and the quick reflexes of my 7D! I also have a shot from that burst of them when they are exactly crossing each other, but this one shows much better.

Here are a few from the Chicago Air and Water Show.

Great pictures. The meeting of two planes left me with a shiver down the spine.

I love this one. The snowy background really sets the scene and the perspective is very interesting. How did you get that perspective?

USAF MC-130 Talon II

Love the old prop planes of WWII. Most of these from the Chino Ca. airshow in 2011.

I love this one. The snowy background really sets the scene and the perspective is very interesting. How did you get that perspective?

Basically you climb a 500" mountain and let it fly below you at 250". Of course the trick is knowing which valley they are going to use and then hope they do

I'd be it'd be easy to make friends with the air crew and make a deal for some back-channel info on which valley's they're going to make their practice runs through.

I could not possibly comment on if that sort of thing goes on or not But a lot of aircrew have a lot of nice pics on there walls

Slight change of country: F/A18C's of the Swiss Airforce at the Axalp demo(and this one you have to climb to 7,000-feet for):

Last year I went up to our local airport which was Barnes Airport in Westfield Ma the F-15's were doing some drills that weekend so I staked out a spot for a couple of hours and came up with these. Sorry I didn't have a chase plane to get those great aerial shots like some on the thread but hey this was the best I could do with my feet still on the ground and my lunch still in my stomach. Enjoy

 

[Viper28]

Love to see F15C/D's esp. in full burner

I love this thread! I need to get to a low fly zone someday. Are schedules of flights taking place in these in the UK posted? Or is it luck/knowing personnel from an airbase?

My efforts make me feel rather inferior compared to some of the other photos posted in here
