Here is some cool footage of the Breitling jet team, I saw them a year or so ago at an air show and they were pretty spectacular; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez63f_iVsD8
We were at the id club party at baselworld hoping to meet some of the pilots but couldn't see them anywhere |

Really love those old WWII planes-thanks for posting!
If you are fan of the B-17 below is a link to a home movie shot by the co-pilot of B-17G Bit O' Lace (named after the skimpily glad belle painted on it's nose)while on a bombing mission. There's no sound, etc. but the film speaks for itself: http://archive.org/details/gov.archives.arc.604487.2 |

I got better equipment now and a lot more knowledge. Hopefully I will have an opportunity to get better pics this fall when the airshow comes to Dallas. Here is a "live" pic of my desk and as you can see, planes everywhere!

The light was horrible so getting decent pics was tough. Some of the ones that looked bad in color were given some effects in photoshop.
