Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

Doesn't happen often but the winds favored runway 10L today making for some great opportunities on Walmore Road to catch departures. In just about an hour both KC-10's, C-130H, F-15E, Vermont F-16's, the C-5 and the B-52 all departed.

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

Based on 30+ years of spotting at Niagara there is not a great spot especially because it is the airshow weekend with increased traffic and security. Haseley is all private property and getting close is probably not possible and if so I don't thing you will be there long before you get a visit by th...

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

FYi - the spot you found is the laSalle Sportsman's Club's a shooting range, the hill is the backstop for the gun range - not a good spot! Your view would be pretty well blocked by the trees there anyway. Prevailing winds are out of the SW so usually traffic is on 28R so you want to be at the east e...

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

Maybe us photogs should put together a list of what annoys us at airshows and submit it to see if we can get things we don't like banned.

If they are saying a large lens blocks some people's view then what else? I'm 6'-2", maybe they'll ban me because I might block the view of someone who didn't get up as early as I did to get a good seat.

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

Thanks for passing on the bad news about lens size. Security justification makes no sense and there are plenty of other annoying things at airshows that are not getting banned as some have pointed out. Hopefully common sense will prevail when they revisit the issue.

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

Dan, Did you inquire with anyone about a clarification on the "large lens" ban? I know a few people that would be effected, I use the Nikon 200-400 which falls under large. I would say that the security in the past has been a tad inconsistent. I always see some coolers even though they are...
