Re: Giant scale Vulcan (4 turbines / 20 feet wingspan). Filmed in UltraHD/4K

That's impressive. I've seen still photos of it on one of my photography forums but that's the first video of it. Doesn't need a lot of runway to take off based on the video. I'll have to post some photos from Jet event I just attended once I get the albums on line.

Re: RCAF announcement says the Snowbirds are ready to perform.

Re: Kingston Air Show, Ontario September 9-10

I just found this which looks like the performances will be part of Kingston's big party to celebrate our 150th Birthday. You need to scroll down a ways but it has the time of the performances listed at where that will be (I think).

Re: Canadian Forces Snowbirds 2017 Schedule

Absolutely better safe than sorry. No use risking an accident which could be a far worse fate than missing some shows.

Re: Canadian Forces Snowbirds 2017 Schedule

Having watched them perform several times I can say that their performance at Wings over Gatineau (pretty sure that's their first performance this year) wasn't as precise as in other years. Timing on cross overs in particular seemed off. Some of that could however be weather too. I have no idea what...

Re: Prop blur, what are your thoughts.

i don't think any of this is a hi jacking so no need to worry there. I don't know if this will help but I wrote it a while back hoping for a bit more input from the Nikon camp (for the differences in terminology) & it was wrote for model aviation but almost everything is valid for full scale exc...
