Love all of these...!

Love the cannon. That 4th photo with the F-16 is brilliant, along with the seventh with the four jet formation. But Why is the engine appear to be pissing in the second photo...? :-?

What kind of camera do you have, and what kind of lens were you using?

The engine "pissing" as you call it, was actually a vortex of water being sucked up from the runway by the engine under reverse thrust. The aircraft was moving backwards under its own power. I had only seen photos of this on the net, and was stoked to see it happen on the port side as she stopped. the port vortex disappeared and i could see another one on the other side, and was praying it would keep going until i got the shot.

Are you serious!? i've never heard of that before. Incredible!

I learn something new here every day...

In response to your question, i have a samsung Gx-10 DSLR, and i was using either a 18-50mm lens, or a 50-500mm lens.

and in response to rottydaddys question regarding bad shots. I'll post this one as an example

Irregardless, I think this is a Super Hornet shot ..........

Cheers matt. i certainly wasnt expecting to see it, but was stoked to have it last as long as it did

Great shots! I love them all 8-)

I almost had the shot, sigh.. i had the camera in my pocket so i sort of scrambled, and i am a bit short so the shots i got of it where really blurry and people heads were in it

Great shots Glenn. I love the Hornet shot and the Jetstar at Sunset. I will be posting my shots later, I think everyone is sick of the sudden rush of Avalon shots.
