Very nice photos! Well done!

What is the 3rd plane in the photo with the F/A-18 and Bearcat?

The FJ-3 Fury is a close cousin to the F-86 Sabre. It was made by North American aviation. Nice pictures, what kind of camera do you use?

P-51, I know you focus on aircraft, but did you happen to see if my fellow Light Armored Recon bubbas were there with the LAV-25s? I particpated in the last all Navy airshow there in '97 just before the hand-over. That airshow does kick ass. Thanks for the photos! :D

Great shots, I especially like the pic of the F-16 in "aggressor squadron" type camo paint, I've never seen one quite like that before, awesome!! Thanks for sharing the pics.

That pic of the M.C. F/A-18C in the digital camo is way cool.

At first glance I thought my monitor was wiggin' out! :shock:

I also love that shot of Fat Albert. F.A. is my 4-year old sons favorite plane. Needless to say, he saw the photo and it made his day. :wink:

Nice pics Britt, thanks for sharing! :D

Hey Brit,

I'm pretty sure the blues dont take passengers up during a show.
Any idea what was going on with the #7 jet?

P.S. GREATT pics!
