MCAS Miramar 2009 : Like every October in San Diego it is a gamble when you pick only one day to go to the MCAS Miramar Airshow. It is the same every year, three days and only one will give you nice skys and lighting to shoot. We went on Friday and it wasn't the best of skies. None the less shooting or not the Miramar Airshow is great fun.

Wings Over Gillespie 2009 : Good to see "Wings over Gillespie" is back on after taking a year off. Gillespie is a fun little Airshow with a hometown feel to it. The folks that put it on and those in attendance are some of the friendliest people you will meet. This year's theme: "Salute to D-DAY", celebrating the 65th Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion at Normandy.

MCAS Miramar 2008 : MCAS Miramar 2008 - Friday Matinee Another lovely day at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego California. Started out a bit hazy as usual but burnt of rather quickly this year. I can really really kick myself this year as the Super Hornet demo was insane, he popped off about four or five dougnuts, but for some reason I failed to check my shutter and shot that demo and the f-16 with the slow shutter I was using for the prop planes... doh!

MCAS Miramar 2007 (redo) : 2007 MCAS Miramar Airshow, San Diego California. (Friday) My first Airshow with the Canon EF 100-400mm L glass, what a nice lens it is. Typical Weather for the Airshow in October, with overcast/fog up until about 10:30AM then the skies became blue (on one end of the tarmac at least).

MCAS Miramar Airshow 06 : Friday Showing, another fine day in San Diego, another wonderful showing from all the participants. The #4 and #5 Blue Angel planes were having a bit of technical difficulties so you may note there are two #7's in a few of the shots.

Redbull San Diego 08 : I ended up going both Qual and Race days so it is going to take me a few to get em up. It is Fleet week in San Dag so we had a lot of Military presence explaining the fly-bys of the military aircraft.

Red Bull (cruise) San Diego 07 : They're coming... it will take a day or two to get through em. Well this is more of a (red bull promo) cruise gallery then shots of the actual races. Hornblower mentioned that they did not have a spot on the water when we signed up (ended up being the furthest from the pylons), but what they failed to mention was the fact that Red Bull invited six different colleges as a promo to be on this boat.
