| Rookie photographer and airshow Oostwold Yes, I'm one of those lazy guys who only use full automatic pocket camera's. But now, my wife bought a Canon EOS 1000D, so I decided to improve my skills on this airshow. First everything on automatic, but at the end of the show, finally using full automatic, I think I made some decent photo's with this much too complicated camera  What's the deal: In the far North of the NL lies a timy (880 m) grass airstrip with the abitious name "Oostwold Airport". The owner has a warbird, P51D "Damn Yankee", one of the finest looking P51's I've ever seen. He organises a small airshow, every 2 years or so and even manages to get some rare birds as you will see. About 15000 people come to these shows and as the farmland is big, there's plenty of room for everyone. One of those nice, small relaxed airshows.. Damn Yankee was unfortunately not able to fly, so I made a fewstatic shots of her. I only had a big (60-300) lens, so you'll have to do with some crazy closeups. One lesson learned Coming up, some more P51...

| Strange formation Some french guy who learnes Cranes to fly, also can fly formation with them. They apparently think he's their mother. An impressive sight. A flying L-39 and a Lysander on the ground.. With the L-39 I decided that automatic was not the way to go

|  Great photos,thanks for sharing! Is there more to come?I'm jealous too, for not be able to see something like this in my country. (I mean WW2 warbirds like that "Damn Yankee" Mustang.) By the way plane on that last photo with invasion stripes in post #5 isn't Lysander. It looks like Stinson Reliant to me.

| For a 'rookie' you got some darned good shots, Marcel! I love those ones with the cranes, and the Hurricane taking off, if cropped, could be straight out of the BoB. And yes, the 'Lysander' is a Stinson AT-19, supplied under Lend-Lease to the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm as the 'Reliant'.
