>Nice job. Looks like a large show.

Well I had to stand in the food line for over an hour if that tells ya
anything.
Some of those shots were taken while I was in that line.
There were lots of planes and jets and lotsa people. Too many people.
Way too many people. Too many rude people. And too many stupid people.

You get there over an hour early so you can stake out a good seat.
Then as the show starts people just wander up and stand wherever they
please (usually right in front of the people who got there early) with
their kids on their necks.
Or else the adults stand up in their chairs. Next time I'm bringing my
own step-ladder.

I got tickled at some of these dorks who bring in huge tripods for
their cameras. After the first jet roars by at about 600mph they
quickly figure out that maybe using a tripod to steady the camera
wasn't such a great idea after all. I should've taken a pic of the
rows of people holding their little cell phone cameras up in the air.
I wonder if any of them got any good shots? As I was standing in the
food line listening to the F-16 Viper roar by, two fools were in front
of me screaming into their cell phones, "WE'RE AT THE AIR SHOW !!!"
