Yep, Wheels, the Togercat showed up Sunday morning just before the pilots briefing and flew in the afternoon warbird program. The big gaggle at the end was awesome! I had my son out for his first airshow shoot. He was so excited when all the warbirds kept coming down the taxiway. T-6s (5), Nanchangs (4) Navions (5), B-25, C-53, F6F, F7F, F8F, SBD, Zero, Corsair, Albatross, P-38, FW-190, 2 P-51s, 2 Spitfires, P-40 and a P-47. These all went out and were flying at one time. Talk about getting a warbird woody!
It'll take a couple of days to hear right again and get all the dust from the run-ups out of my pores.
As we were leaving, I asked Jacob if he had fun. He said YEAH! He said his feet hurt. I asked if his arms felt like rubbery noodles from holding up and swinging around the camera. Yep. Tired and thirsty? Yep. So I said, "Let's see, exhausted dehydrated, sore but strangely content at the same time. Welcome to the family business, son.".
I have a ton of shots to go through, but here is one from Sunday that I really liked.
