The show featured the US Air Force Thunderbirds!  They performed flawlessly both days!  Amazing to see with that wonderful blue sky!  Here  is the diamond on takeoff!  Again, beautiful Mt. Rainier in the background!!

Here is the Diamond while maneuvering for another flyby.

The Thunderbird Five Card Loop!  Up they go!

Well, that's it for now!  I'll be getting three rolls of film back today. (I shot about 7 rolls in only one day, as it didn't work the first one. lol)

Very nice shots...I had forgotten what actuall developed film looked like heh...so used to the digital prints, but very nice photos indeed.

Still...can't beat out the Blue Angels...

I'm glad you guys like the pictures!  And yeah, it's an AWESOME location... when they're not canceling rutines due to rain as in previous years.  I've gone to this airshow 4 times before, and saw a Thunderbird Hi-show once, but clouds were blocking out the mountain... the poor weather before has CERTAINLY payed off!

And yes, as awesome and beautiful as the Thunderbirds, they're still not the Blue Angels. :D  No disrespect to the T-birds... but, what can I say, the Blue's are the best. :D IMHO

Oh and I got three rolls back so far and must say I'm quite pleased!  One roll has most of the pics out of focus, but there are a few keepers in there.  Considering what I had to put up with with this camera, I'm quite impressed! haha.

Thanks again!
