One of the other Sabres that visited this year... I want to build a little temple around it and worship it.
But that would be wrong- she's airworthy. 
Some don't like the lines of the F-86, but I think it's just about perfect. And it has guns. Zoom zoom bang bang. 
Which is not to say I don't like F4s! This one did not do enough showing off over the runway, but it was so clean and "tight"-looking. :(
Less shy was this fantastic P80... I showed the other flying Lockheed earlier.
There were many L39s there this year, and in every variety. Still a good "budget" jet for those who want to play fighter pilot.
What do you do when you have a brilliant, clear shot with perfect light and good composition, but there are Porta-Potties and dazed, sunburned AirVenturers cluttering up the foreground? You make art, that's what.
I like how this turned out... pilot of the NASA F-18 talks on his cellphone while waiting to be towed from the Square to the flight line (the plane was "dark and cold").
The Strike Eagle arrives after a thrilling display... nice job!
