Friday was pretty fun too!  It was my first time really looking around the base and was a pretty exciting day!  It all started with this KC-10 landing


Then C-5

Then F-15E

Then the F-15 Demo

Then the Super Hornet

And finally some Thunderbirds

Great work everyone.  shornet -- stunning work as usual, great closeup work.  Nicely controlled highlights on the T-Birds!

What an extraordinary show! I was smart enough to take my camera with me, so here is my visual review:

Would you please make your pictures no wider than 800 pixels so that we can easily view them with smaller monitors. Sorry I don't use 20 inches 16:9 wide screen.

Photoshop do help a lot to recover and control highlight details.

Here's a video compilation of photos I took during the 2008 Mchord Air Expo:

I'm by no means a good photographer, but I borrowed Chris Smallenberg's old camera and had some fun putting together the video. I hope to have all the video I took during the show up soon.

Enjoy.
