Looking to be an excellent airshow on such a short notice seeing they had to pick it up for Westover!

I'll be there Friday and Saturday, would love to meet some of the other members of the boards. Was able to meet Hawg166 last year, great putting faces to posters<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

praying for perfect weather!

Here's the report from last year http://www.aircraftinaction.co.uk/Barnes.htm

No I am not coming, but I see that the Blue Angels are coming. At Friday and Saturday 16 and 17 June do they their show in the Netherlands, Europe. A lot of traveling for them.

On the photo is a nice explotion to see under the Warthog.
I wish I could see that show. Have sun and fun there.

Salute Dutchy

Down time around 1715 , so I figure airport ops will cease at about 1530 so they can put there big girl show on.

hopefully it's not going to be too hazy. The weather is calling for the humidity coming back Thurs & Fri which could give some awesome Vapor shots on practice day.

Last year the WC F-15 demo put on one heck of a show.

Kudo's to everyone in the 104thFW for a great show. Friday and Sat worked out okay despite the weather.

I'll get through some of the shots hopefully tomorrow to view.

Was the weather any better on Sunday, I went to a washed out Quonset show :(

I would always perfer shooting with nice blue skies like last year, but the low ceiling did offer some sweet Vapor shots.

Thanks to the 104th FW for putting on such a great show in short notice

Great pictures, very nice.
How was the show of the Blue Angels? Here was the first day not so good and the next day very good. But the top for me from them is Fat Albert

Salute Dutchy

Dave, the funny thing is that while you were taking pics on the ramp at Barnes, I was spending a few days at the FOL and heard about you from a 104th's pilot. Small world!<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
