T-Birds at Jones Beach Pratice day

With the expected crowds for this weekends Air Show, it was nice to see the Air Force Thunderbird's in a relaxed atmosphere. Free parking and no traffic was the icing on the cake.





Fairly complicated undercarriage can be seen in this dirty pass shot.












I'm struggling a bit with my Nikon. I hope one day to get pretty good with it.



I wonder, can you ever have too much sun? Guess I have a lot to learn about exposure.










Often I find myself switching back to the automatic modes just in case. That way if I'm botching the settings manual mode, auto will at least give me something.









If nothing else it was easier to photograph a full size model for a change today!

Put together a little foam pusher model for night flying. Phillip at PW-RC had the AXN Floater Jet imported for me.



While I have only flown it twice on a windy day I'm sure it will be a lot of fun based on some of the videos posted on the net.









Perhaps once I get the AXN Floater Jet flying well I can get back to my Multiplex Twin Star II Night flyer.
