doesn't work):

a few personal highlights:
The "Boredom Fighter" - a home-built biplane. The guns over the engine
aren't real.

Vulcan releases its braking 'chute (heavily cropped top and bottom to
remove acres of blank sky and the fuzzy heads of other spectators)

Nice rear view of a Catalina, showing the wingtip floats lowered. He did
put them back up and use the wheels for landing

Hope you like some of them.
I should probably start using a 1B UV/Skylight filter for this sort of
thing as it was quite hazy. the AF had serious trouble locking on a few
times and went through the entire distance range trying to focus. I didn't
dare leave it on continuous AF.

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
