Great pics! LOVE the one of the Corsair flaming the Zero, great angle!

ONE_HELLCAT · 08-25-2009, 04:57 PM

I think I'm going to cry. My college started on the 24th, and so I missed this. Did they display the Mk XIV like the guys wanted to?

Geedee · 08-25-2009, 07:37 PM

Superlative as usual Eric.

I do like that Bearcat shot with prop wazzing around, thats a great action shot. If I had taken that, it would be my PC wallpaper for sure. Beautiful !

man Evan I'm so envious your airshows are sooo much better than ours

Heinz · 08-27-2009, 05:21 AM

Great stuff Eric, love those shots!

Was the Spit a full size replica?

Scooter we have some pretty good shows, get down to Temora they have a fantastic collection.

Thanks guys.

The Corsair nabbing the zero was a long way out, so there is some heat haze, but the 500mm pulled it in.

The Mk XIV Spitfire wasn't done, and stayed in the maintenance hangar. I look forward to seeing that fly again.

The Spitfire that did fly is a full-sized replica with an Allison engine.

As you can see, Gary, I have been working on my prop blur shots. That was hand-held at 1/30.

Great shots Eric.
I didn't see the booth where your pictures were on Saturday.
Where was it located ?

evangilder · 08-27-2009, 08:53 PM

It was right out in front of the CAF hangar, near their sales booth.

GrauGeist · 08-27-2009, 09:31 PM

Most excellent photos, Eric!

The thing that gets me, is every time I see your next group of photos, they always top the last group. Not sure how you do it, but keep it up!

I have to agree about the Zero/Corsair photo...the angle of the shot and the action it suggests is perfection and I bet you could make a sweet vintage B&W out of it, too!

Aaron Brooks Wolters · 08-27-2009, 09:40 PM

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! You da MAN Eric!! Those are stupendous! And yes the Zero/Corsair shot rocks!

ScOoTeR1992 · 08-28-2009, 05:00 AM

I didn't see the CAF Hagar. I was over at the WW II veterans booth area.
It could have been right next to me and I probably wouldn't have seen it.

The Corsair Zero shot is cool.

The CAF hangar is on the west end of the field. You were about 200 yards from it if you were at the hangar with the WWII vets.

I posted 40 galleries of photos from the show on my website. They are at:

Enjoy!
