I posted these over on Facebook....but wanted to post here as well! I'm still new to the photo world, but thought they came out very well!! What a great week/weekend!

Enjoy,

Luke
Thanks for sharing! Very good, especially for someone new to it!

I am scared to look at how many pictures I ended up with. As a friend said this week, I will be editing for years....

Thanks Ryan! Appreciate the kind words....it's just crazy how often things change and you're constantly adjusting things to make it work! LOL! Wish I had more Airshows that were close by I could shoot to get more practice! Might just have to go out to ATW or GRB and practcie....LOL!!

Final airshow day at Oshkosh! I'm going with Ryan tomorrow to see if we can see some departures, like the B-1 and B-52. In the mean time, here are some photos from Sunday! On a side note, great shots Luke! Hope you enjoyed yourself!

Two more videos from yesterday. I'm hoping I'll have more time to edit longer videos during the week and weekend!

I think it was a Tuesday - a 737-type plane landed, all white, no markings other than the registration number (which i forgot...); two engines, winglets, with what looked like to be a 'charging patriot' type of drawing on it.

The P-8 was already there; the plane did not have any visible 'bulges', and was parked where the F-35s and A-10s were hanging out (ie. on the far edge, not on Boeing Plaza).

Any idea what that was?

BTW, this year only managed to be there for Monday through Wednesday night. So got to see many of the planes, but not the A400 and the B2 :-(

On wednesday I did see Fifi and Doc practice far away from the field in their formation flying; only was able to spot them using binos. There was a third smaller plane accompanying them, so i'm sure the EAA Magazine next month will have some nice formation photos :-)

Only 357 days to go...

@Dan Gagnon and myself got to see off some of the display and military aircraft today in Oshkosh. Check out the B-52 and B-1 departures!

There were a few 737s throughout the week. One was VIP transport for the Secretary of the Air Force. The Blue Angels also used a C-40 Clipper to transport their gear and support team since Fat Albert is grounded. I can't remember the specific days but I would guess you saw one of those.

I'm pretty sure the 737 you saw Tuesday was the VIP transport for the Secretary of the Air Force. I heard the announcer say something about it as it was landing.
