Thanks for the nice comments. I see this topic is going well, seen some real nice pics so far. Keep them coming. Here are some more from Yuma.

I thought there already was a topic about agressors but i couldn't find it so here we go (again?). Agressors are my favorites because of the nice paintjobs which offer superb photooppertunities. Here is the first batch to jumpstart this topic. First two were taken at Yuma in 2006 during takeoff clos...

Took me some time to figure out this one, but it seems to a Korean one just returned to the US from after a leasecontract.

And of course some other stuff.

I visited Amarg last august, i think it is one of the places to go when visiting the us. Together with Pima museum you'll find a very substantial part of Americas military aviation past. From the museum you can take the Amargtour twice a day. It lasts for about 1,5 hour and takes you in a bus to the...

Found this one from las August of very enthousiast Eagle backseater while landing at Nellis.

Peter, American airshows can be very interesting especial if you have never been there and you can see a lot of new types and units. As i already mentioned before the photoopertunities are better than in Europe because of the photopasses that are not allowed/done overhere. If you compare the variaty...

Marco,

The f15 was indeed 82-021/EG 58 FS, the other one did not fly and was parked out of sight, so no serial on that one.

Hi Marco,

The f-18´s were 164062/nj365 and 162804/nj304, both f-18c from vfa-125, read them of my shots.

I'm not a huge fan of us airshows because of bad staticshows and limited airdisplays, but there is one thing they do the best. That's creating photoopertunities with legacyflights and photopasses. The planes come from behind the crowd performing a nice bank. Here are some shots of these fine moments...

This was a nice airshow, sun wil in your back from 11.00 till sunset. Static show was nice (u2, b52, ea6 etc) but typical american with no real barriers, just some cones and rope, and people in front. Security was pretty tight, so you had to come in early because of the long lines at the entrypoints...

Thermal, Your lensrange depends on where you are standing. Takeoffs over cheyenne are between 600 - 1000 analog mm(you have to move around a bit depending which runway they are using). While landingshots overhere are about 400-500 analog mm for the first runway and about 250 - 400 mm for the second ...

Sjoerd, I used 500mm (+1.4 ext) most of the times during takeoffs over cheyenne (for aircraft using the far runway). My camera has a crop of 1.3, if you have a 600 - 900 mm analog you should do fine. By the way, if they land over cheyenne a 100-400 mm is just what you need. Here are some shots of no...

Some more launching shots, especially the locals and the guys from Lakenheath knew what photographers want. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn297/hans_antonissen/nellis2008cheyln303.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn297/hans_antonissen/nellis2008cheyln306.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/al...

Here are some more from a flag recovery. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn297/hans_antonissen/nellis2008speedln222.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn297/hans_antonissen/nellis2008speedwa283.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn297/hans_antonissen/nellis2008speedln492fs.jpg http://i307...
