United States - California - California International Airshow 2008 - Salinas - 09/26/08

The 2nd shot didn't come out, but there was so much heat coming out the back that I'm not surprized, but anyone who looks at these two photos can imagine what it looked and felt like to have a Super Hornet buzz you at 150ft and 450-500MPH.

That space would probably not become available. 

The Media area at the Salinas Airshow has been outfitted with a Scissor Lift for the past 4 years that was set back from the flight line and would get photogs above the crowdline, speakers and even with the grandstands.   Did anyone take advantage of that?

The lift was offered.  Two things: it's not stable enough in the wind and more than one person moving around.  Secondly, After an experience at another airshow, I steer clear of them.  The lift jammed and broke way high up.

It was cool!  The F-15 came in full speed and too little time to zoom out.  Here's the last frame from the burst: and uncropped

I couldn't find very many shots of the Collaborators that had enough visibility to see the planes through all the smoke!

[M.F.C]

yeah you are right keith there smoke seem to hang around

[Keith Breazeal]

I picked what would have been a good one, but the smoke and sun angle really killed it.  Below is what I dragged out.
