Come Josephine in my flying machine

... but then I'll have to clean the seats.

I found out one thing, the auto-focus on my Digital Rebel sucks when trying to take pictures of an airshow. I finally had to give up on it and shoot on manual focus (heaven forbid! That's like going back to the photographic stone ages, next I'll be shooting with a pinhole camera (Actually I have a pinhole camera)). Some of these are a bit soft, but I still like them.

Something I do like about the camera is that with the sports setting, the camera adjusts the ASA/ISO to keep you at a fast shutter speed. The camera was working overtime on this because I was shooting thru a polarizer (which I was trying to adjust while manual focusing, that was fun).

Anyhoo, as you can see by the ad's prominently displayed on them, this is the Aeroshell acrobatic team. They fly old AT-6's which were WW2 trainer aircraft.

Essentially instead of doing fancy flips and out of control spins, they do large lazy loops and turns in unison, just feet away from each other. Not to take away from the difficulty of this, (or the outright dangerousness of this), but in MHO its the airshow equivalent of synchronized swimming.
