Duluth Air Show 2017

Went up on Friday to shoot while they were practicing. Did not think the weather would cooperate this weekend but strangely enough it has been almost perfect.

Nice pics. Wanted to go see them but other things came up. Havnt seen them in years but way cool to see in person.

 

Where did you watch them practice from?

Nice pics.  I saw the Thunderbirds as a youngster and it blew my mind.

All the shot were taken at the movie theater parking lot by the Harley dealership.

 

The one time I paid not a plane flew due to fog. There are some cool shots to be had by going to the show but its fun to see them so I went Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Brought the 2 year old grandson Saturday and Sunday and he had a blast. Nothing like getting rocked by the afterburners from 4 jets coming overhead.

A few more from the weekend. I liked how the clouds in the background changed the last 2 shots.

My dad and bro went, had a great time!  Dad liked the b-52 think it was, and the f-35.  They tried telling him they couldnt bring in these older alum lawn chairs my gramps made, he set them straight!

Love air shows, only missed one they've had in eau claire the past 30 years.  Usually go both days, plus the early show on friday, and find time to watch them leave and come in.  Even climbed the water tower when young and dumb to watch the angels!

Well done Jim.
