Spent 4 days & got back late Sunday. Awesome time, but exhausting. Busses to the pylons twice a day (press only).

Miss America, Unlimited class

T-6 Class

P-51, Unlimited Class

Relentless Sport Class

Sport Class "dog fight" racing

Heritage Flight, P-51 & F-35

P-5`1 Unlimited class - This last one is what it's all about. Loud & proud warbirds coming at you - 400 knots and about 100 ft overhead.
I got the drawing for the "special" pylon on Sunday.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Wow, love those old P51's. Must have been a blast, your images are fantastic.

 

[AlanLichty]

Awesome set of captures. You made good use of your access to the event.

 

[JimFox]

Wow Dan! Congrats on being able to shoot it, and also getting the special Pylon. I would love to do that one day.

It's hard to pick favorites, as these are all so good, but the last one may be the best one.

 

[Brian]

So cool. I've always wanted to make it out there to see the races.

 

[Jim Dockery]

That looks like fun, both viewing and flying! I assume you wore ear plugs?

Ear plugs, what's that?
It's only loud when they come screaming past.
Hearing's kinda trashed from Vietnam & jets.
Sooo, I just soak it in
