Eugene Airshow-a few years back

[RichieB16]

Well, every few years we have a little air show in my home town on Eugene, Oregon.  I was going through some photos I have, and came accross some I took during one the show from a few years back (we were blessed enough to have Canada's Snow Birds come).  So, here are a couple of the pictures I took.  

I'm sorry about the poor quality, I had to scan them and resize them to meet (or come close too in one case) the forum rules.

Here are a couple pics of the Snow Birds in the air





During the show, I had wandered off and was taking pictures with my parents camara.  A local newspaper reported noticed me and offered to let me use his really expensive lens to take a few quick pictures (since we had the same camara).  So, here are 2 of the photos that I took using his lense-they came out great.

This is a small stunt plane of some kind (might be an Extra, I'm not sure)-but it's one of my favorite photos from that day:



Finally, here is a picture of the Canadian F/A-18 that came.  It has a special paint job since it was a CAF anniversary of some kind (I can't remember exactly what anniversary).



Anyway, those are a couple of the many photos that I took that year.

It's always a treat to watch the Snowbirds perform.

I can't remember exactly what anniversary.

It actually wasn't an anniversary.
The CF-18 was the "Millenium Hornet," used for the celebration of the year 2000.

So,.........does someone want some fresh shots of the Snowbirds?.....

..........they have arrived in town for their usual two week work-ups for this seasons show, and if the weather holds, I might just be able to get a shot or two of them.....they did their first two practice sessions on Sunday and will be in the air twice a day for the next two weeks over our skies here..........

........with a quick run out to the deck, this is how I saw them do their first flypast of my roofline.....hopefully, I'l have some better quality shots to post soon......
