Thought I"d let those that live in the southern CA area know that there are a couple airshows this weekend. The Riverside air show is Saturday only. They plan on landing a C-17 on a fairly short runway; should be worth seeing. Also, the NAS Point Mugu show is both Saturday and Sunday, featuring the Thunderbirds.

Mike,
Thanks for the info. I wonder if I should've waited and gone to one of these air shows instead of El Centro - that was a hot day. -Ray |

I usually try to avoid the word "wait" when it comes to air shows, and instead use the word "also". That way I can justify going to both! :wink
The Riverside show was exciting, and I'll get some shots up soon I hope. The only drawback was a 300 foot tall wall of dirt when the C-17 took off. It quite literally blew right over the crowd, and actually dimmed the sun about 40%. Exciting!!!! It was a bit of a long day (it was hot, although far from El Centro), and it's convinced me to put off Point Mugu until next year. Mike |

Hmm, sounds interesting. My goal is to this year attend more shows than I've done in the past few years. I will most likely be at the Salinas and Sacramento shows as well. They are both about one and a half hour's drive from me. Maybe I'll see you at one of those?

It's possible, although I tend to hit the 6-8 within a few hours of Orange County: El Centro, Riverside, March ARB, Cable, Chino, Miramar NAS, Point Mugu, etc. I hit Nellis (outside Las Vegas) last November on a whim, and it turned out to be a fantastic venue for photography. The desert air is clear and crisp, the sun at an oblique, and a nice mountainous backdrop.
I'd like to try and make Fleet Week in San Francisco this year. I've not been to that one, but hear it's a nice venue for photography. Anyone have any suggestions in around their areas? I think I'd go to more shows if I heard other&s reviews of them, and could make an informed decision. MHPhotoWorks (Mike) |
