Title: Alliance Air Show
Post by: Dichotomy on October 22, 2011, 05:23:36 PM
Got there at 8:30 am.

Took nearly 1000 pics that are currently processing to jpeg in the background.  Some are probably crummy.

+'s Air show crowds are ridiculously polite.  That's refreshing.  Met a family that had a 10 year old that is seriously geeked about airplanes.  May have accidentally recruited a future father and son team but I strongly recommended doing offline for a long time, then offline missions, till they were sorted.  Very nice bunch of people.  

-'s Serious lack of Axis representation and I discovered, much to my chagrin, at 48 standing for long periods of time on the tarmac can be a bit uncomfortable after a while.

Nice to sit down in my comfy chair with a cold one next to me :)

Edit: sorry Rat.. no Corsairs.. *grumble

Me and my daughter were over at Cabelas buying some camo and stuff. We were just leaving as the Tbirds began. First year we did not go in some time.

Geez Rog.. we were close enough at that time to throw rocks at each other.  I bolted before the Tbirds because they've got tons of online photos and I've seen the show several times.

just a note.. I haven't edited any so if you click on a thumbnail it's going to pop up in its original size (3000 X 2008) which might make for some decent desktops :)


Edit: Added a gallery with the best 34 pics cropped and edited

My personal favorites of the day
