shepp Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Posted August 11, 2013 privatly owned harrier this was the only "modern military jet" there, if the squester bullpoopy is still going on next year i prolly wont be going. but word is blue angels and thunderbirds were given the go in Oct. jet man AKA HUGE DISAPOINMENT, he operates at 5000-3500 ft, like watching adam ant. F-7-F hell cat, badass plane, i couldnt believe how quiet it was for as big as it was 75th anniversary of the T6
SwissyJim Posted August 11, 2013 Report Posted August 11, 2013 Love Oshkosh, but haven't been since 1995. Great pics!
DNP Posted August 11, 2013 Report Posted August 11, 2013 Awesome photos. That looks like a sweet event. My boy is almost old enough to start going to stuff like this. He has the usual kid fascination with airplanes.
seasprite Posted August 11, 2013 Report Posted August 11, 2013 Use to love going to the air shows but with obummer in the house well you guy's know :'( Great pics shepp
shepp Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Posted August 11, 2013 F-7-F tiger cal sorry And thank you
MikedaddyH Posted August 11, 2013 Report Posted August 11, 2013 Heard yesterday that the Blue Angles got defunded and are grounded !
shepp Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Heard yesterday that the Blue Angles got defunded and are grounded ! They've been grounded all year, along with the thunder birds. It's all due to the sequester, also active military jets at air shows Edited August 11, 2013 by shepp
planeflyer21 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Posted August 11, 2013 I'd love to go! You sure that 3rd pic isn't a B-17, with those mains in the nacelles?
shepp Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) I'd love to go! You sure that 3rd pic isn't a B-17, with those mains in the nacelles? Your correct I compared it to a picture I previously took, FIFI was there tho only a cool 489$ for a 30 min ride Edited August 11, 2013 by shepp
planeflyer21 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Posted August 12, 2013 Man shepp, I'd LOVE to go for a ride in anyone of those WWII bombers! They come annually, usually a B-17, a B-25, and a B-24. For the cash they want I'd have to spring for the B-24...just because.
shepp Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Posted August 12, 2013 More pics please!More pics please! Click the gallery link at the top of the post
DNP Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) You running a 75-300 or the 100-400? I didn't see any over 300, so I'm guessing not the 1-4 Edited August 13, 2013 by DNP
shepp Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Posted August 13, 2013 Pretty sure my big lens is 80-400 I don't normally shoot maxed out on moving shots, 98% of these have been cropped. For the stationary shots its all 28-135
jrtMA Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 Great pics. I've never actually gone to a show but would like to.
edgecrusher Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 Great pics. I've never actually gone to a show but would like to. I'll let you know when the next one is out here
shepp Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Posted August 13, 2013 Great pics. I've never actually gone to a show but would like to. If you like modern active military jets I'd wait till the sequester bs is over. I wanna go to Dayton some day. Chicago and Milwaukee are both supposed to have cool shows over the lake
