The guy flying the Super Corsair this year is a buddy of mine based out of my airport.  He is the luckiest person I know, he gets to fly all kinds of warbirds and such in his spare time.

Great shots, thanks for posting them, I can tell by the angles and chairs you are in the performers area, thats where I am usually shotting from, but I couldn't go this year. Great place to take pictures. Mark

You mean Bob Odegard? Yep, he's pretty cool. My grandfather flies Cloud Dancer and is a good friend of Bob.

Well I'm not sure if my buddy was the one flying the air race, but he did fly the Corsair to the show.  I think Bob flew Duggy in.

Looking at the third picture it looks like you were sitting almost right next to me. I helped set up and take down the performers tent while I was there.
