#6 he'll never get to take off speed in that !

I think 4 and 5 are my favourites.

Thanks couldn't resist posting the quad with his 2 fire extinguishers not really sure what fire he could fight with those. But hey its the credit crunch i suppose!

I went as well, never bothered to get out the carpark as it was right next to the runway. I agree the glider was amazing and I love your shot of it. Makes it look as if you are flying above it.

It was my first go at airshow photography and it was really tricky to get the propeller blur but the aircraft sharp. Good fun though.

Thanks Sean and i agree prop blur is very tricky sometimes! I just try to pan very smoothly in time with the aircraft and take plenty of memory as most of the shots are unusable but the few that are ok tend to look superb and normally make the whole effort worth it in my book. Cheers for your comment
