(Actually, most of the dust stayed to the east and we got very little at the airport. It did make for some dramatic backgrounds though).

So much for the Noise Abatement at SDL.
Statics at air shows really aren't my thing, but as the crowds thinned, some solid angles presented themselves.

Joe - I hope you were not seriously injured when the Avenger ran over the top of you while taking this wonderful photograph ;D

Matt, Really like that UH-1Y shot. Clean Machine. Quite a hot rod compared to the old UH-1H or UH-1N.

Thank you, Jeff! No, Joe was off to my right getting the 3/4 head-on shot. And, I don't usually lay down on the ground, I usually just put my camera on the ground, click the shutter, and hope for the best.
I had Lucas CGI this Red Tail bird for me. Pretty convincing, no?

I got lucky with the lighting on this one. Seemed like the sun would hide behind the clouds every time one was on short final.
