airventure 07- part 20- more jets!

[beaky]

Oh yes, of course there's more jets...  ;D

Yet another L39... very snazzy, right down to the upholstered baggage compartment (I like all the pockets- that's a good idea)..

     


Another one-of-a-kind: the only flying Fury in the world.

     


Another look at that sweet NASA F-18, looking very nice after a storm.

     


Without a long lens I could not get many good aerial shots... but I hope these convey some of the excitement of being at AirVenture.

I sure do love me some Sabres... got some terrific video of this one, too- sounds great.

     


Another pass by the old Lockheed, leaving twin trails of show smoke. Beautiful.

     



The Eagle pilot hauls it over the top in a blistering high yo-yo maneuver...

     

     


Best time to wander the static areas with a camera are at sunup or sundown... I like this shot.




Next: part 21

[expat]

Nice shots.

The FJ-4B, I take it that was the carrier version of the F86 or is there more to it than that?

Yes and yes... I don't know the whole story, but it is, I believe, a "Navy-ized" offshoot of the F-86.

[Willit Run]

Sweet shots, Sean!!

That last shot is nice!!

The NASA F-18 looks so much more dynamic than its military brethren.


And nice "cold war tribute" shot.
