Show & Tell – Lynchburg Air Show
Mostly show, not tell - but I will say I never went to an air show before yesterday. Weather was questionable but worked out. I don't use the word 'awesome' much, but will say the Blue Angels fit that description.
Also first I ever saw a P-51 in flight, or an AT-6 Texan, not to mention a DeHaviland Vampire and Royal Navy Harrier, which kindly parked in mid-air.
Glad ya had a good time and experienced some "firsts", Ralph...(I've never seen a Vampire, either).
The Vampire and Venom are tiny jets, even by the standard of the time.
Thanks for posting. You got some nice shots.
actually I think the clouds added a sense of depth to the overhead parts of the show. I'm used to mud
Excellent photos, thanks for sharing, Nice to see the Curtiss Commando.
Lovely shots Ralph - thanks - Commando a highlight for me - blue angels too
Ralph, whose T-6s? Them GEICO people?
Is that a 2 seat trainer Vampire? I saw one at a show years ago, and it is LOUD when it spools up, and taxis.
Good looking C-54, too.
The Blue Angels are coming here in the Fall, I hear.
I'll let you know, if you want to make the trek. I don't know what else is showing up, and our planes will probably be open, as well.
