Airshow 2007, NAS Oceana, Va.

[ccheese]

Hi Guys:

Went to the Airshow at NAS Oceana, Va. today. Took 480 pictures. Have
deleted them down to 383. Thought I would put up a few today and a few
tomorrow, etc. It was a great air show, but the tropical storm off the
coast kept the clouds low (at times about 400 feet). Anyhow, enjoy the
pic's, there will be more.

Just as an aside..... there's an odd story about the Yak-9 in the photos.
Seems that some sixty years after the fact, someone found enough parts
in the old Yakovlev factory to build nine brand new/old Yak-9's. The owner
of this one bid one million bucks for this one, and his bid was accepted.
One catch...... no Russian engines were available. This particular one
has an Allison V-12 in it.

I'll put up more airshow pic's tonight.

There are two shots of a Chinese trainer. I don't remember the designation.
It was flown by a woman.

And some more. The last shot, of the F/A 18, F-22, F-86 and P-51 in
formation, came out just the way I wanted it.
