Oh well here goes there all very poor so dont expect too much and i can only post One a day as they take a fair time to edit out the totally unwatchable bits and believe me theres lots of them. Evan has set a very high standard that it will take a long time before I can match him but it gives a little flavour of the show.
First clip the B17 the bit in it where i end up pointing down the flight line was when a bloke stood on me.

Country:  | Not bad. One way to make it easy is to not completely fill the frame with the airplane. That gives you a little room to manuever and keeps the plane in the shot. What I do typically is back off just a bit from filling the frame. Then you can manuever easier and shift your footing if necessary with a minimal interruption.
Heck of a good start though.

Country: | I have some fairly good sequences of the PBY, the P51s and the Corsairs.
thanks for the tips Evan, I noticed trying to fill the frame is where i have made my biggest mistake thats what becomes of trying to apply stills technique to videos. some of the ground taxing shots are much better.

Country: | No problem, trackend. It was a lesson I learned after burning about 2 hours of tape! I watched it and got dizzy and a headache. Pulling back a bit still shows the plane, but keeps it from getting to tough to track. And believe me, when you try to film a Mustang doing a low level, high speed pass, you need as much lee-way as you can get!

Country: | The Mustangs did a 2+2 head on pass so that confused me for a start Evan. I didnt know which way to point the bleeding camera when the fly past happened 25 fabulous aircraft in one flight was just too much to capture.
Tiger cat , Mustangs, Spites, Hurries, Yak, P41, P47, 2 Corsairs, Wild cat + others and 2 B25's at the rear, Mind blowing.

Country: | I can see where that would be a dilemma, what to shoot! But isn't that a great problem to have!

Country: | That would have been sweet! I have yet to see a Tiger Cat fly. That is the only Cat I have yet to see fly. Years ago, at Camarillo, they fly a Wildcat, Hellcat and Bearcat together. What a roar! It would have been cool to have the Tigercat as well.

Country: | I actually think I may have some viewable footage of it Evan i would guess he must have hit near 400mph. I've just finished going through all my clips and marking down each one so I can group the plane models together

Country:  | That Tigercat was awesome - the pilot was throwing it around like mad. My brother (who is not a WW2 aviation nut) was really impressed by the Tigercat - as was I and I think everyone else.
They flew them all together - it was a wonderful sight. Those B-25s didn't hang around either! And the Corsairs - well, that was just excellent flying. It was ALL good! All good!

Country: | That was pretty sweet, trackend! Remember the tip I gave you earlier. The first section of the clip you were doing that. Watch it again and you will see what I mean. Smoother with a little pull back. And I would call that a good clip! I will be nicking that one for my personal collection.

Country: | Argh, what a shame. Who trained those guys how to use fire extinguishers? That one guy was just misting the fire. They should have been able to get that out with 1, maybe 2 extinguishers. But you may have a video that might be of interest to someone in the press if they didn't have coverage of it already.
