to the announcers. I remember my very
first air show in 1958 where a 104 went supersonic during the flyby.
Yesterday this one came VERY close at around 680 K. However, it was obvious
when the F-15 made its high speed passes that it was quicker and noisier!

That's the original version,

Covers the later variants. It's the Su-35 I was referring to as superior
to the F-15 1v1.
Good stuff! Thanks!
That's quite

You got those shots with a 200mm? Those aircraft fly close to the crowd!

Not right now. The USAF needs an update.
The SU30s and 31s are probably the best planes in the air
right now (and for my taste, the most beautiful.)
Walt,
Really nice grab. What camera and lens?

I like the Heritage Flights at airshows. I try and pan across and use a
slower shutter speed to blur out the props on an old warbird. There's a
little blur in the Mustang.

Hey that's Greece! The Greeks don't understand plane spotting or at
least that's what they told us at that recent trial for spying of British
plane spotters :-)
Nice pics tho.
