Yes! I hate to say it, but I think I prefer the wings (hay stacks) over a close center stage...

Especially for something like this...

However, for the solo's crossing passes and "parade" passes, the center is obviously perfect!

Guess we gotta keep shooting from everywhere...

Did anyone else find there to be quite a lot of heat distortion making their Blue Angels shots a bit soft? At least the ones out over the runway.

That one has a magical quality Matt. Very cool. Looks like the stripes at the end of the runway lit up the bottom side of the aircraft.

Thanks Scott!  When I took the photo I just liked the way their smoke looked as they flew by, but there ended up being a lot more to this shot than smoke.

Good one Harvey! All I can say is that I'm glad I wasn't shooting film that day.
