Thank you Dan! I did go to watch the flyover in DC last evening. I was at the Navy Merchant Marine Memorial on the south side of the Potomac River. Very good location with clear view, the big drawback is even for 800mm, the fighter jets appeared pretty small. The problem with shooting from the north side of the river closer to the "show center" is you will be pretty much shooting up in their bellies.
The B-2 flew as a single ship, then flew with 4 F-35As, The F-35s flew twice, the F-16s just once. I will be going back there again this afternoon for the flyover this evening. Will work on the pix tomorrow.

I'm working on an ad campaign for Qatar Cargo and the X2DII captured some great images today........... This image was taken at 2:40 in the afternoon as the aircraft returned from the paint shop. I anguished over whether it should be shot from west looking east, of vice- versa. Ultimately I decided on shooting it from the east, the sun position was almost directly overhead with a slight bias to the west. I factored in the aircraft colors and the Hasselblad's incredible dynamic range and rolled the dice. We will be shooting a dusk static shot of it in the near future, should be spectacular.I am so glad that I went out on a limb and bought the Hasselblad, it has proven to be even more than I had hoped....Show more →
BEAUTIFUL Jim!

So you were present and witnessed that low pass that is doing the rounds on the Internet?
Secretly I chuckled when i saw that was in Texas I thought wouldn't surprise me if Jim is there
