Hi Frank, Nice show the Snowbirds put on, isn't it? I've seen the group fly here in San Francisco as part of Fleet Week in recent years. They are a nice contrast to the US Navy's Blue Angels. Flying at slower speeds than the Angels, they give me more time to capture them. I love watching their loops as you've captured them. Also easier on my ears, too.
Got any more like these? Pat in SF --- frank theriault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Right now there are only 3 in the gallery; I might scan a few more > later today, but these were the best.
