Warbirds in Action, Minter Field, Shafter CA

Well, by now you all know that I went to the big show at Minter Field in Shafter. I am still in edit mode from the show (about 2,500 pictures over 2 days), but thought I would give you all some sneak previews. For a quick overview of the warbirds there:

6 Mustangs, about that many T-6/SNJs, 2 B-25s, SeaFury, 4 delfins, Jet Provost, BT-13s (at least 4), PT-26s, 5 T-28s, 2 t-34s and more!

Here are some of the quick edits done so far, just a sample/teaser.

Glad you guys are enjoying the shots.

Well, I was, but it turns out the tournament was postponed. Nice to find out through someone else 2 days prior to the event. I had another photographer lined up to assist and took the day off of work. It would have been nice to know a wee bit sooner about the postponement... sheesh

So the next thing I shoot I KNOW you guys will enjoy. But I won't be saying much until afterwards. I somehow seem to jinx things I talk about too early.
