Machinery Airshow

Airshow · 10:20 PM

A few weeks ago there was an airshow here in Airdrie and we had an invite to watch it from a friends place who has an acerage about a mile from the airfield. Our grandson wanted to see the static display, so in the morning I took him to the airfield and of course took a few pictures. I had never been to an airshow before, never mind photograph one so these pictures might not be up to "airshow" quality.

If anyone is interested the rest of them are here:

Comments are always welcome and appreciated

Those are mighty fine shots. I like the gold F-86 Sabre.

BillM · 08-08-2011, 10:55 PM

Very nice Heinrich,sure didnt take long for you to 'catch on' to air shows.
DeHavilland beaver in #2,could swear I heard angels singing when I looked.
J-3's are nice,but THAT's an airplane.

This is a moment your grandson will never forget and he was able to share it with his grandfather, great shots. Bob

Very nice sharp and colourful aircraft images Heinrich.
Well done and thanks for sharing.

Nice shots - and lovely weather! That's one lucky hawk in the second last shot (although I'm sure the lens foreshortens the apparent distance).

With these shots, you're flying high, Heinrich. Super job - each is well composed, exposed and crystal clear.

Going to stop calling you Macro Man - excellent shots. Being an Air Force Brat I have seen many airshows and these shots are a great representation.

Damn Bug or not, someone should be shot for the paint job on that Hornet.

Thanks Bill, living in the Yukon for many years if flew in every small plane imaginable but never in a Beaver, even so that there were a number of them flying.

Take care,

Thanks Bob, he is 12 years old and interested in just about anything but still insists that he is going to be a palaeontologist.

Take care,

Thank you Bob, there were a number of hawks in the air and they didn't seem to be bothered by the air traffic.

Take care,
