Looks like the clouds stayed far enough south to not spoil the day.

Clouds?  What Clouds?  Felt like the ant under the magnifying glass by around 9am...  

Here's my Coolidge rant:

Very nice crisp shot Bubak.

When I first got a quick look at the Biplane in your first photo Jay, it looks almost as though he's doing a sideslip for you to get a head on shot, what with the nicely blurred background, and the way the gear orientation looks perpendicular to the runway line.  Cool.

I think he was just showing off...  

He had to make like four passes before he could find a big enough hole in traffic to land.  He even got bagged by an ultralight on one approach.

I think this is a Jabiru...


Super Duper Cub on short final...

Here's a few of mine from this past weekend. Who says you need a long lens for aviation  All of these were taken with a 18-55mm.

Excellent Work.

The T-34 static is a great POV!

[cpasley]

Wow Stephen I had no idea you were able to get that close to the action at Coolidge ,great work

[Stephen Marshall]

Thanks Jay! I agreed with you so I decided to take the shot. It's now my laptop desktop picture.

Chris, you can practically get right up to the runway. In fact I think the post Joe made about people being too close to the runway was most likely about me...  Oops?

[Jay Beckman]

Yup...

It was Stephen!  

<j/k> Actually, it might have been me...
