Nice job, two Skyraiders is sweet

This will definitely be an annual trip for me. A relaxed, friendly event with lots of flying! It was cold and windy, but I'd rather have that than the 90 degree BS we've been dealing with much of the summer.

I was around some people I think post here, but I didn't think to bring up the site, which I should have done. If you talked to a guy in a short-sleeve windbreaker and Tigers/WMU hat, that was me.

Any day with multiple Skyraiders is a good day.

This is a 2 image focus stack to make all sharp..pretty cool

I had a good time at this show. I love the fact that you could walk around the planes. Granted most of the times you had cadets that were in the way of good shoots. I stayed around after the show and was able to take some shoots with out the cadets in the way which i will post later. Here is one shot that i had to get.

A nice pilot portrait

Thought the Skyraiders were the highlight of the show. It' a nice small show with always a solid Warbird representation. In the past, they had F-18s (US & Canadian) including Super Hornets, but I think locals complained about evacuating their homes for the show box.

Finally getting to finish up the Waukegan air show...Skyhawk attack sequence
