AMAZING photo's man, well done. Haven't been to an air show in years and certainly nothing that had that many aircraft. You must have had a blast!

Great photo's! I've always wanted to attend that show as I hear as it's the best air show in NA.
Post more photos if you have them.

Holy crap, is that a Yak 9? And a FW 190? I'm having a hard time telling what the German plane is from the angle since I can't see the nose profile.

I'm curious about the twin engine plane in the picture just below the FW190. The cockpit indicates its some kind of fighter, but I've never seen one like that.

Quite a bit of money $995 for a front compartment ride near the cockpit and $595 for a flight in the rear compartment.

Depending on the length of the ride, I'd totally pay that.

haha yeah he was taking a picture of the B-29 Superfortress flying overhead. A lot of people were mesmerized by the B-29 they didn't realize the wall of fire was going to happen.
