Thanks, Pat. Yeah, the Snowbirds put on a great show, and their slow speed means that spectators can see 'em a lot longer than faster aircraft. Those three are by far the best shots that I got of them. The rest are merely repetitive, IMHO. I got shots of other aircraft, but due to out location, we were shooting into the sun, so mostly I got silhouettes. We thought the show was over, and we left our location, then the Snowbirds did their show, so we got them with the sun behind us. Therefore, my Snowbird shots were the best of the day. I may post a couple of other shots over the next day or so, but I don't think they'll be as good as what you've already seen. Thanks again for your kind comments. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
