Scottsdale AirFair 2011

"Billy Goats" T-6 arriving in a dust storm at Scottsdale for static display for the Air Fair. 

(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.

Where are the wheels-up shots of that Challenger from Sunday? Was it just Jay and I that caught that?
