Attended the event on Saturday, and arrived back in Adelaide tonight. Just a few from to wet the appetite:

Tiger Helicopter
D2x + Nikkor 300mm f/4 + TC-14E11

Bulldog - this shot was taken with the aircraft in this fllying position no more than 2 metres from the deck. Should be called Maddog.
D2x + Nikkor 300mm f/4 + TC-14E11

FA18 Hornet - these guys were way too fast for me in the sky, so I waited until the aircraft landed.
D2x + Nikkor 300mm f/4 + TC-14E11

Weather conditions conditions were not favourable, heavy cloud cover with patchy blue sky, rain showers and strong winds. Typical Melbourne weather :wink:

. From the shots, you can see that I waited until the subjects were in blue sky before shooting. A very draining day.

Had a great time and met up with robw25, and his friend Simon from Whyalla.

Welcome home. So you are calling me a dickhead :lol:

, soft boy, and still after a heavy shower of rain and getting very wet, still fighting fit and twice a dangerous.

Avalon Air Show 2007 Part II, not as good, but the best I could muster in view of the weather.
