I had the need to drive across Tyndall AFB this past weekend, and it's obvious why the show was moved off-base. Tyndall is a bit unique for military installations in that it is bisected by US98 between Panama City to the west of Tyndall, and Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, and other points east. US98 re...

As has been pointed out, your edited video is interlaced, which places even number lines in one frame and odd number lines in the next, and any movement in the meantime obviously comes out at a different spot on the screen. The main issue you may end up with on that bundle is that you may not have a...

Looking at the Wikipedia article on the SR-71 and the list of surviving aircraft, I don't see anything closer to you than Hutchison, Kansas and Ashland, Nebraska, and I can't tell you anything about their environments. I know that the one at Eglin AFB's Air Force Armament Museum is outdoors, in fron...

Sometimes the fence is set back from the edge of the tarmac far enough that the aircraft have room to taxi right against the crowd fence. You'll never get this close to a runway, but having a P-40, or P-51, or P-80, or B-25 taxi by only 30 feet away is pretty exciting! or an F-15 or an F-22! These w...

My own lens for my Nikon D7200 is Nikon's 70-300 IF-ED lens has been satisfactory for all but the most distant shots. Its reach can cut off parts of an aircraft while the aircraft is directly ahead if I'm lazy on the zoom ring, but getting the top of a diamond loop is pretty far away and requires so...

I haven't seen anything about seating or shade, and I highly doubt it, being on the beach. There is nothing firm enough to support seating. I would imagine everybody and their dog will be bringing EZ-ups and staking out plots early. I haven't seen anything about what you'd expect at an air shows as ...

Hey, it IS an air show, after all... :lol: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53315048882_d5e1a9d77c_b.jpg Look closely, as there are TWO airplanes here! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53316262604_9e9932d4ff_b.jpg The biggest vapor puff I got all weekend. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53...

Those speaker towers appeared at the 2015 show, and were actually taller then! Comparing this shot from 2015, the ad banner is actually above the top of the current tower's height, and the speakers are above that instead of behind the banner. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53313780413_14d9d4671...

I'm going through my own images. My one disappointment with the show was the very low (for this area) humidity, which resulted in almost no vapor from the jets, even in the 700+ mph passes. Nothing except for wisps from the F-35, and the normal trails from the strakes on the F-16 and the F-18s, and ...

I saw "bomb squad" mentioned in the list of performers, but the image showed the aircraft, thus the confusion. Still glad to see even that, as they haven't had any pyro there for several years now! (Well, except when a skydiver's boot sparkler lit the grass on fire in the 2017 night show.....
