I love it. A few years back when the 58th SOW 1st got their CV-22s they would practice mid air refueling over Albuquerque. I wish I would have had a good camera/lens I saw so many epic shots.

Love the Ospreys. It must have been really weird for the guys who were flying it though, because one of Miramar's Ospreys was involved in the incident that occurred on same weekend, which resulted in presumed death of a marine.

I just saw an Osprey fly at an airshow two weeks ago - which is a pretty big thing here in Europe.

Some pics taken by a friend:

Damn. I need a telephoto lens real bad.

Nice shots! I had wished I had time to go both days (once with the kids and once without) so I could spend a day shooting.

I've shot a number of air shows, but ever since getting a good telephoto lens, I've been focusing on getting close ups of the planes. But I love this shot. It never would have occurred to me to take it.

Thanks! I do really want a telephoto lens though, although I dread having to carry something like that around.

Hello new wallpaper!

Seriously though, that's an outstanding picture, and I'm thoroughly jealous you go to see it live.

Go ahead! Use it! It's a product of Facebook's merciless compression algorithm. Only I have the original photo. MWAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!
