A couple shots from the flyover in Baltimore yesterday. The whole thing was over in about 90 seconds. I brought the A7RIV+100-400, A7RIII+200-600+1.4TC, the latter wasn't really needed because the planes were fairly close to where I stood, they flew almost directly over head.
I have been to over 50 airshows in the last 10 years, never saw the B-1 in flight before, only on the ground as static display. Even on the ground, the B-1 oozes motion! When I learned about the flyover on Saturday that included the B-1, nothing could have stopped me from going, not even the COVID-19. I kind of regret the spot I chose to shoot from was too good, the planes pretty much flew over my head. I wish I could get better side profiles of the planes instead of their bellies. The flight path published wasn't that precise.

Clearly you made the best of it! That B1 is mesmerizing. 🤩
I could see that. These were on the 1st. At home on the 4th it was nutso. Can’t imagine daily though, 3-4 days was bad enough. Good luck!

Here in Brooklyn, there have been Macy's grade fireworks going off every night from dusk until nearly dawn for the last 4-6 weeks. It's non-stop and happening right on residential streets. Nothing like a full-on firework blasting right in front of your living room window with sparks and debris landing on the terrace!! The same thing has been happening to both of my kids, who also live in Brooklyn. We are all basically shell-shocked, and if we never see (or hear) a firework again, it will be too soon. :-(
