This aircraft was far and away the fastest and noisiest aircraft of the day. Throw in it's signature manoeuvre of a dump and burn and this was a definite highlight of the airshow. The photos in this post are of this mighty beast, firstly on the ground, then in the air. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a decent shot of the closest dump and burn past [unbelievable perhaps, but my memory card filled up at that point and it was a rush to change it! Yes, Chris - I'll look at buying a new one!].
As always, the issue of a fast moving aircraft and a slow moving auto-focus took it's toll, but these are the best of the pictures I did manage to take.
I got video of the dump and burn but I'm sure there are others who would have uploaded something better to youtube by now.
ReplyDeleteNice series Rodney... I hope I didn't sound too condescending about your memory card :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. Actually I got VERY condescending about my memory card when the F-111 started its closest dump and burn pass, and my camera came up "card full"!
ReplyDeleteStink!
I've purchased a 2Gb card off Trademe... waiting for it to arrive now :-)
The card has arrived, and it works well. Only problem is that 2Gb cards are a tiny bit thicker than 512Mb cards... it's noticably harder to push into my laptop slot [no problem in the camera]. Weird!
ReplyDeleteOh well, it works fine. Might try and external card reader and see if that works easier - don't want to break anything :-(
I've picked 3 of my best video clips and uploaded them to youtube. Check em out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfXYBWxJgVY
ReplyDeleteNice videos mate! I see there were some on there from other people also.
