If you want to make yourself feel better, look at the exchange to the Euro and GBP...lol.

Fixed the F-15 post.

the Loop in Wales was another thought in my mind, key word there being....WAS

love the shot of the F15, makes me forget about the exchange rate and reinforces why i want to get to Nellis

I'm driving to the loop the Monday after Air Tattoo, only one day allocated to it at the moment, but we'll see how it plays out...might have to go back again after doing the rest of the touring.

And don't worry, Nellis is worth it.

i had thought of the loop, and then having to drive to get there, but jeez...they drive on the wrong side of the road ya know.
i checked out air tattoo, looks to be one hell of a show from what i see of the invited list, do me a favor though, don't post any pics of modern migs if you get em

welcome aboard, great start

Thanks Brian. I had two two hour sessions yesterday, all hand held. This is the light super-tele, right? I'm glad I didn't go for the 600. Have ordered a monopod.

Here's another couple I like:

The only things heavier than the 500 are the 400mm 2.8, the 600mm F4, and the 800mm 5.6.

I've handheld both the 400 and the 600...they both make the 500 seem like a walk in the park. The 400 is ridiculously front heavy.

Last year the Polish Air Force brought their Mig 29...I'm really interested to see what will show up this year. The invitation list is huge, but as per usual, most won't accept the invitation.

There's not a lot of operators of Migs, so it's really a waiting game to see what might come out. I'm excited to see the Eurofighters, Rafales, etc...but yes, I'm hoping for a Mig 29 of some sort...I was really hoping russia would get an invite since they might bring the OVT model, but alas...no bueno.

indeed,
Bowie, Frey, 2016 is not off to a good start and we are only 3 weeks into it
i'm afraid that i am in the age group where we'll start losing more of the great ones from my era of music.

then what, can't think of one modern r&r band that will leave a lasting impression like these guys

Are you saying Justin Bieber is not as good?



Kidding!

I tried a gimbal head on the weekend and had trouble acquiring targets quickly enough. Is hand holding better for BIF shots? Anyway, here's another Corella:
