I went out to the Point Mugu Airshow yesterday. The morning weather was real cruddy, but I am glad that I waited. While some of the early in the day shots were very reminiscent of my old shots in the UK, the afternoon cleared for some great light and some incredible vapor. Here are some of the shots.
First up, some cargo airplanes and crowd shots. The morning crowd was light, but by the time the warbirds came out, it was a sea of humanity.

Thats a ton of people!

Warbirds were plentiful. They had some pyro too, it set the infield on fire that took 45 minutes to put out.

Red bull was representing, with the amazing aerobatics of Chuck Aaron in a Bolkow helicopter and the Red Bull parachute team. Yes, that helicopter does rolls and loops!

The USAF Thunderbirds headlined the show, and the vapor was awesome!

AWESOME SHOTS ERIC!!!!!! I want a ride in the helicopterExcellent work sir!!
Thanks guys. Because it was cloudy in the morning (1100 foot ceiling), I didn't put on sunscreen. By the time I realized I should put some on, it was too late. So my face real burned, blisters and all. My arms aren't as bad, but are pretty red too.

Is that Sean Tucker in the orange bipe??? Looks like his plane...
Planes are so simple....... damned helicopter builds!
No, Sean Tucker's is the Oracle Challenger and is red. The orange Lucas Oil sponsored Pitts is flown by Michael Wiskus. It's the first time I have seen him perform, although he has been at it for quite a while.
Thanks for the props guys. It was good to get back into the mode again. Next week is Santa Paula and Camarillo the week after that. It's going to be a busy month!
