Not Kites but they fly...

One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.

I watched a few guys flying planes today.

Very nice Randy    Always like the military formation teams.  Camera?  How much zoom where you using?  How hard where those to frame?

Thanks!

Thanks! 

Canon 350D (Rebel XT) w/Canon EF-S 17-85 IS zoom. Most of those shots were at full zoom due to where we had to sit and I had to do quite a bit or cropping to get closer. Most were fairly easy to frame via continuous mode and panning. Of course I've got a zillion shots suitable only for the recycle bin.

I've got to work on the rest of the bunch but that will take a while.

Good show to get those at full zoom with planes moving that fast!  I might have gotten a rudder and occasional wing tip
