Warbird DisplaysDiscuss Edwards AFB Airshow, Oct 28-29, 2006 in the World War II - Aviation forums; I got in pretty late last night, exhausted and smelling like kersosene. But I have this to say about Edwards......
I got in pretty late last night, exhausted and smelling like kersosene. But I have this to say about Edwards...oh YEAH! The lighting at the show is very challenging to shoot in, but when you line it up right, the shots are simply perfect lighting. When you don't, you either get a silhouette, or in some cases a complete washout of the frame. BUT, it's Edwards, rich in aviation history and chock full of really cool stuff. Here are some early edits from the 1,280 pictures I took yesterday. Got Kerosene?

Thanks. There were a few foreign aircraft on display and the Dutch F-16 demo was really good.That was the only foreign flying demo though. There were L-29 and L-39 trainers, a Belgian F-16 and some exchange pilots from the test pilot school. But it was mostly a USAF show.

Has USAF changed the wing tank designs on the B-52? They look smaller (shorter). And, if so, why?

They could be. That is one of the Edwards B-52s, so it could be one of the test mods. I have a couple of pics of the F-16XL that I will get posted soon. It looks complete, minus the engine.
