Wrapping up a bittersweet trip to Reno for the last of the Air Races, we made a stop in Atwater to visit Castle Air Museum. They have an extensive collection of aircraft at the location of former Castle Air Force Base.

Fleet Week is always one of (if not THE) best Air Show on the West Coast. A large aerobatic box over the San Francisco Bay means a lot more latitude with the types of maneuvers that can be performed.
Here are some of the highlight pics from yesterdays performances.
TAGIT!

Granted, it’s been almost a week since the Blues flew at SeaFair 2010, but I do have a day job after all, and picking and processing photos is a time consuming affair. Regardless, here are some of the highlights from the fun on 7-Aug-2010 at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
Weather was pretty iffy, but the Blues still few a program to the delight of thousands. Here are some of those photos:
Between myself and my daughter, we took almost 2000 images at SeaFair 2010.
In this blog entry, I will be uploading a handful that really struck me as interesting or good. Here is the first, and so far, my favorite photo from the weekend.
I shot this photo on Sunday, as they were making the final airfield flyover, before landing.
My next favorite is this one, which my daughter shot with a 50mm lens, standing on a chair, as they made their final flyover, before landing. I think she has an eye for photography. I checked the rest of the shots in the set, and there were no rapid frame pics, she shot this single frame. I love the composition. Lighting was terrible on Saturday when she shot this, but it still worked!
