PICS: from the Alliance Fort Worth Air Show today

Like the title says...I went to this today with a group of people and had alot of fun! first time to actually go to one inside of an airport...Anyways I took the pics with a Standard Canon PowerShot SX100IS..nothing fancy really at all...$130.00 on clearance at Office Max....Almost all of the aerial pics are taken at 25-40x zoom.

here are the pics..enjoy...I took alot of vids too...they didnt come out very clear but you can make out what the stuff is in it and the sound of these planes!

Very cool stuff Chris, thanks for sharing!

Let me tell you it wasn't easy taking an afternoon nap this weekend with those jets soaring overhead all day!

I can't believe the shots you have with the single prop and the twin jet ... hard to believe the jet could fly slow enough or the prop plane could fly fast enough to stay side-by-side!

Oh yeah ... the stunt plane with "Gene Soucy" written on the side ... that's my same last name!!!

It's called the Heritage flight...they've been doing it since 1997. You should come out to an airshow sometime.
