Went out to Tri-Cities Airport after lunch today to see the Collins' Foundation aircraft( I think I spelled that rite). I got there too late though. They were in the process of packing up but I was able to walk around and get a few shots. They are not good but I really enjoyed listening to those radials. We had a front move in while I was there and the sky clouded up somewhat but it was well worth the two hour lunch break.

Love the P-51!!!! and B-17!!! Woot! Thanks for sharing. I'm going up to Gettysburg tomorrow until Saturday, I'm sure I'll have tons of pics.

What's going on up there Harrison?

B-17engineer · Nov 4, 2009

I really don't have a clue!

Parents surprised my brothers and I with a trip.

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Nov 4, 2009

That's cool! Hope everyone has fun.

Nice stuff Aaron!

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Nov 5, 2009

Thanks guys. I fought the sun cause I couldn't get between it and the aircraft but that's how it goes I guess.

Really nice shots, Aaron!

I can relate to the sun thing...I had a terrible time with environmental conditions at the Redding airshow

Wayne Little · Nov 7, 2009

Agreed...Awesome !!!

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Nov 7, 2009

Thank you guys. The second shot was an accident. It surprised me how clean it turned out to be.

Love the pan-n-scan shot of the -17 landing/taking off! The plane is in focus, really shows the action going on!

B-17engineer · Nov 7, 2009

Agreed!

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Nov 7, 2009

Thank you RA and Harrison. I am s-l-o-w-l-y getting better at my pan shots with practice.

Holy Cow! Some great shots, Aaron and i am so-o-o-o jealous. Man, I am missing out on all the fun; you'll have to PM me if you hear about one of these "close encounters" again. Thanks for posting these.

I'm sorry Derek. I didn't find out about it until the last minute myself.

No worries on the pan-n-scan....trying to keep a moving subject centered while your mirror is flipped up is dang near impossible, unless the object is moving on a fixed line perfectly horizontal with the plane of your camera lens, you're using a tripod, and you have the luck of the Irish. Since I tend to be lazy and not bring/utilize my tripod, mine always end up blurry!
