Rob,
The first shot, echelon formation is the bomb.
Looks like the 20D with the 70-200 was the right combination

Rob,
I like your shots. I'm thinking about doing the Cleveland Air Show this year with a 40D and 70-200. Did you use an extender? I think the 70-200 alone is my best bet.
Thanks,
Mike

No extender... the 70-200 alone on the 20D was it that day.
Have fun at your show... look forward to viewing yours.

Very nice shots! Well composed and exposed.
Some of the shots have a considerable color cast (mostly cold). I would recommend still checking the color balance and contrast for most of the images.

Very nice work, I like Air Shows. In June I attend an Air Show in Karup Denmark. I brought my Nikon D70 and a brand new Nikkor 70-300 with me, and had just to learn. I attend for two days, the first with the though guys, the spotters, and return with more than 100 photos of the blue sky, and a bunch of unsharp pictures, but the next day I had learn the lesson, and the 70-300 mm was working hard on AF, and did a excellent job. Highly recommended for Air Shows, specially in combination with the RAW format.
