Re: Planes of Fame Airshow 2017
Thought I'd share some of my photos from the rest of the show in this thread (see the Heritage Flight thread). If you like Warbirds, you need to find a way to go to this show. Hands down the best Warbird show in the US. Here's of partial list (according to my recollection) of what was there and FLEW...

Re: Heritage Flights!
The Sunday Heritage flight was different as well. Thankfully they resolved the P-38's issues Saturday night, so it was back. Instead of the two P-51's, Steve Hinton flew the F-86 instead, which is just about my all-time favorite so that was perfectly okay with me! Shortly after they took off it bega...

Re: Heritage Flights!
So the lineup for Planes of Fame was to be F-35, P-38, P-51, P-51 (Epic right?). That went on as planned for the practice show and photo flights on Friday. Saturday (first show day) the P-38 had a cowling issue and didn't fly for the Heritage Flight so it was F-35 and P-51 x2. Steve Hinton in his P-...

Re: What Photo/Video Gear Do You Use?
D7100 (with grip)
D5200 (with grip)
Nikon 70-300mm
Nikon 10-24mm
Nikon 16-80mm f/2.8-4E
Nikon 35mm f/1.8
Nikon 85mm f/1.8
I use LensRentals.com and I rented the new Nikon 200-500 last year for the airshows I went to. I also rented the D500 last year and will probably buy one later on this year.

Re: What Airshow Act Do You Miss?
I agree with every act that's been mentioned, especially F-15, A-10, John Moore, and Jim Leroy. I'll add Jim "Fang" Maroney to that list -his act had gotten really good in his last couple seasons performing. All of the above were regulars at my hometown airshow "Thunder on the Lakesho...

Re: Heritage Flights!
I was just getting into airshows in 2005, and was years from making it to OSH. I do have these shots however from the 2007 Gathering of Mustangs. I cringe to look at them now but I'm glad I was able to witness that spectacular event. On one day, they flew a separate Heritage Flight with each of the...
