Just a little something to get the ball rolling.
I've been hoping one day to get a head-on of the Privateer on take-off from Kaspar Grande. Until then, I got a couple of nice images of it on final into Willie this afternoon.

Thanks Joe.
Hey, were you the guy on your belly shooting with a Nikon and at least a 200-400mm? I think I saw you (based on the Blackhawk shot). I was dragging my 6 year old daughter around with me (who held up great btw =)).

Ha! Yup, I was on my belly a few times that afternoon, but shooting with a Canon body/Sigma 150-500.
Good to hear your daughter weathered it fairly well. I took my then-2.5-year-old daughter last year. She held out long enough for me to get some satisfying shots of the F-104 taxiing in, but melted down shortly after that. She stayed home this time around. ;D
Few more.
