1. Airplanes

Air shows

These are a collection of shots taken at different shows- Moffitt, Edwards Air Force Base, Lemoore Naval Base, Travis Air Force Base, Salinas International Air Show, Reno Air races, San Francisco Fleet Week, and the Watsonville Fly-in. Shooting jet planes is the hardest in my opinion esp the ones flying too close. Since the gallery is getting so big, the Blue Angels, the Thunderbirds the Snowbirds, the F-117, B-2 Bomber, B-1 Bomber, B-52 Bomber and the Prandtl-Glauert Singularity(vapor clouds) have their own separate galleries.

  • F86 sabre jet along with F-16 Falcon( Fleet week at San Francisco; Crissy Field) CA
  • tooclose-172
  • airshow-171
  • Watsonville air show CA  Hawker Sea Fury- I believe this plane did not see action in WWll. At one of the air shows, the pilot hit the 'gas.' It had to be one of the most impressive passes from a piston  powered plane. Watsonville air show<br />
These planes compete against the modified P-51's at the Reno Air Races.
  • P-51 Mustang with F-15 Eagle

  • This is the Ridge Runner(P-51). The reason why I included this picture is because I rode in this place years ago. The owner/pilot modified the cockpit to carry a passenger. You can see someone in the back. I paid $500.00 for a thirty minute ride- it was worth every penny. Mind you- I am pretty sure the cost is higher. I still have the guys' phone number so if you want a ride( he is based in Hollister, CA), email me if you want that information.
  • F-15 Eagle. This was actually a very hard shot because the plane almost flew over me at a high speed.
