Plane Photography

[delicate silo]

i have like 5tb of photos

rn

[eager geyser]

I went to the airshow this year for this photo being the only reason I went

[delicate silo]

yeah thats sick

[eager geyser]

It was my only goal and I thought I missed the shot

[delicate silo]

i wanted a raptor vapor shot when i went to FL for a show

but didnt get it

one of these

since we dont get vapor here

[eager geyser]

I haven't seen that much vapor here yet

[delicate silo]

where at

[eager geyser]

I've been to quite a bit of airshows and have never seen a cone or full coverage like that

Florida

[delicate silo]

my dad got a shot of it on his phone funny enough

i just didnt see

[eager geyser]

fully encased like that?

[delicate silo]

yeah

[eager geyser]

dang, which air show

[delicate silo]

stuart

[eager geyser]

ah I like stuart

I took this at an airshow called sun n fun

[delicate silo]

amazing show

went in 2024

ah yeah

see t he harriers?

[eager geyser]

what time of year?

[delicate silo]

its always in november

7th - 12th usually

that weekend

veterns i think

[eager geyser]

ah I haven't been to a fall show maybe thats why I've never seen that much vapor

[delicate silo]

lemme pull up some of my shots

best show ive ever been to

(only been to 3)

[eager geyser]

I did not see any harriers. The show this year was rather limited on military planes due to deployments. A lot of research vehicles like NOAA Poseidon 8, NASA Guppy, Cargo planes

[delicate silo]

there were some at sun and fun tho

missed opportunity for u mate

[eager geyser]

Didn't see em

[delicate silo]

saw a post on IG about them

[eager geyser]

I'm assuming they were grounded, I didn't walk the grounds much this year

I went straight to the photography stand

[eager geyser]

u sure that was sun n fun

[delicate silo]

yes\

"Becoming a more rare sight, four AV-8B Harriers from Marine Attack Squadron 223 (VMA-223) Bulldogs depart the 2026 Sun n Fun Aerospace Expo after being on display"

[eager geyser]

OH ok gotchya thats them leaving and they were on display

Yeah I didn't walk the display planes this year

[delicate silo]

u didnt stay to see em leave buh

they retiring them all soon

https://giphy.com/gifs/f1-meme-bwoah-kimi-g77MMXj50GfpWiaY5B

[eager geyser]

I didn't know they were there

[delicate silo]

didnt read static displays?

[eager geyser]

I didn't walk em

Well thats not true, I did walk to NASA Guppy

[delicate silo]

all stuart

[eager geyser]

Guess I missed out on the harriers oh well

[delicate silo]

f18 had a vapor cone too I had just put away my camera by the time it happened

[uneven fog]

Yeah these are ass

[eager geyser]

It was hot af and I was like "lets just go to the photo stand this year, I don't wanna see the same stuff I always seen"

[delicate silo]

looked up to see a full vapor cone and im like oh crap

[delicate silo]

lev btw

[eager geyser]

I really like their team

[delicate silo]

seen f18s at every show ive been to

decent display ig

[eager geyser]

No F18s or 16s this year

This is one I got last year

[uneven fog]

Holy are we dumb 💔

[delicate silo]

it was raining and i was renting z8

and i was about to get on a huey

[eager geyser]

That last shot I think a Paramotor flyer actually took it

[delicate silo]

what?

[eager geyser]

Don't take lev seriously, he is just gonna repost our photos as his elsewhere

[delicate silo]

https://klipy.com/gifs/fnb-get-this-man-a-true--k01KQ3CQ6KQYDW545T10JQXPRAH

[eager geyser]

Is it your photo? They had paramotors flying in the night show

[delicate silo]

these all mine

from stuart

24

[eager geyser]

o shoot

Probably the same writers for the night show then. I thought that was SNF

[delicate silo]

i want to go back

was the last official A10 demo

[delicate silo]

flordia knows how to light stuff on fire

peak airshow

[eager geyser]

They used 2 miles of pyro this year at SNF

I got hit by burning pieces of pyro cardboard a few times

pyro -> lasers

fireworks -> crap ton of pyro

[uneven fog]

That’s what you think boy

[delicate silo]

lev stole them alr

[brittle bridge]

he loves to steal trash photos

[delicate silo]

ikr

mine are prime for the taking

[gentle helm]

pilapus

[eager geyser]

Did you already post these

I feel like I've seen these

[gentle helm]

depends

i did post the top right before

but not the rest

if you're asking for instagram i posted on accident

[uneven fog]

That’s why I love @brisk hinge photos

[brittle bridge]

So real

[uneven fog]

Hopefully some cool mid photos of my own coming later this week

[delicate silo]

lev taking his own photos?!

[uneven fog]

Maybe

We will see

[delicate silo]

[supple rose]

Thought I’d attempt prop blur while practicing on cars. Obviously shit lighting, cropped in a ton and a bit hazy but I think prop blur ain’t too bad. I’m not gonna try edit this lol

1/80s Ss at 600mm

[brisk hinge]

that’s pretty decent

1/80 at 600mm is hard

[brisk hinge]

one year at Oshkosh i worked pyro, we set up for the night show while the day show was happening so i had planes flying 50ft above my head

[supple rose]

It was slow and far away

Tbf this is the best one

[brisk hinge]

fair

[supple rose]

It was going maybe 200kph

[uneven fog]

Cool pictures coming semi soon chat

[pearl ridge]

🤯

[brisk hinge]

which show's photos of mine are you stealing this time

[uneven fog]

Uh idk when were you in Pensacola

[brisk hinge]

few months ago

actually nevermind it's been longer than that 💀 december of 2023

i swear i was there more recently than that...

[uneven fog]

Oh then that

also yk how I was saying that the 17 pro battery didn’t feel much different

I’ve been on it for like 2 hours straight and I’ve lost like 15 percent

Low power mode

But still

[brisk hinge]

yeah

[brittle bridge]

@uneven fog what are we doing bro 💔

[eager geyser]

iPhone photography

[brittle bridge]

real

[eager geyser]

-# Thats not lev tho

[brittle bridge]

oops

i thought it was cuz its buns

[brittle bridge]

@sage cape why didnt we lock in bro

[sage cape]

light was buns so we tried something different for the arrival

[brittle bridge]

ok u redeemed urself

[sage cape]

love some cheeky human element

[rocky coyote]

I contemplated going to that but chose not to

[dusk spindle]

This is sick, havent seen you post anything remotely as unique

[uneven fog]

Suck it bro

[sick wedge]

I'm going to an airshow this weekend... any tips? It'll be my first 🙂

[storm herald]

Also enjoy the airshow without the camera at all times in your hand 😉

[brittle bridge]

Earplugs

If you want

[eager geyser]

Thats what going the next year is for!

[eager geyser]

True. Or what my gf and I do is we bring our earbuds which have noise cancelling and we call each other so we can yap and not get deafened by BRRRRRRRRRR

[storm herald]

Lmfao i guess also possible xD

[pearl ridge]

This is how to fix out of focus shots

[sick wedge]

I'm going to oshkosh this year with the EAA so that ones the one where the camera is gonna be put up for the majority 😂

[brisk hinge]

nice, i'm lookng forward to OSH this year

looking forward to seeing the P-38

[sick wedge]

I got some nc headphones packed for sure

[brisk hinge]

don't just shoot planes in the sky, look for them to do something interesting or add a foreground element or something to make the photo more interesting

[sick wedge]

I'm gonna get some ideas beforehand for sure, then work from there

[brisk hinge]

things like this

[supple rose]

I don’t like these cuz this is like drawing the attention away from the plane

Especially the shot with the people

[brisk hinge]

it's so much more interesting than "plane up in the air with a blue sky" though

!cars

[brisk hinge]

this type of thing ^

[supple rose]

Ye still, with nature in the background is much much better

But people is hell nah

I don’t like those

[brisk hinge]

bad take

[supple rose]

Nah

[brisk hinge]

nature in the background though

[supple rose]

This one’s good

And houses are nice too

Like in @modern stirrup s shot

[brisk hinge]

like this is just mediocre photography from an artistic standpoint

[supple rose]

#🚗・vehicles message

[brisk hinge]

yeah that one's good

[supple rose]

Yeah

He things in the foreground should match visually

[supple rose]

For me gray, military F18 does not match Blue angels because it’s a whole different thing

[brisk hinge]

that's a bad argument

lol

[supple rose]

“Add grain and it looks like film”

[supple rose]

No? It’s an opinion

I don’t like it

Others may

[supple rose]

Make like thicker but smoother grain or idk how the get the film look

[brisk hinge]

it's better than an image like this

[supple rose]

I like that one more

[brisk hinge]

defeatdie

[supple rose]

Blue angels just doesn’t fit

[brisk hinge]

why not

[delicate silo]

Lowk just like every other plane shot

[supple rose]

If it were military it would

[brisk hinge]

?

[supple rose]

Colors

[brisk hinge]

blue angels are military

[supple rose]

Do the planes go fight in war with this color? No. That is not a combat paint

[brisk hinge]

doesn't mean theyre not military, and also it shows a contrast. If everything in a photo were the same and perfectly matching, it would probably be boring too

[delicate silo]

https://klipy.com/gifs/jerry-laughing

[brisk hinge]

I don't think I'd like this photo as much if the foreground planes were gray

[dusk spindle]

They’re 48 hours war ready btw, so if they had to they would

[supple rose]

Not really a contrast for me. It’s just different colors. Contrast would be more opposite like white or black

[brisk hinge]

does that 48h not include a repaint, i'm pretty sure at least the thunderbirds would be repainted

[supple rose]

It’s still not used in combat usually

[delicate silo]

Making a fool of yourself

[brisk hinge]

i mean it is pretty opposite...a completely combat-ready plane flying a demonstration in front of a squadron of planes that are used for public demos...that's pretty contrasty

contrast doesn't have to just be black and white

subjects can contrast

[brisk hinge]

you can not like the blue angels photo, that's fine. But this photo is objectively worse and there's really no debate

[supple rose]

You guys are attacking an opinion I won’t change. I don’t like it and I won’t change that opinion. It’s useless what you are doing. So wanna waste your time trying to change my way of thinking which won’t happen or just stop it?

[brisk hinge]

i have time to waste 🤷‍♂️

[supple rose]

Yeah but it’s too different to match and to similar to contrast. Like a middle child which no one likes

[delicate silo]

Foreground >

[brisk hinge]

first image has people in it, that instantly makes it 0/10

[supple rose]

Get the people out and it’s much better. To me in these shots it gives more of a “I’m cramped in this mass of people and can barely see the plane “ look

[brisk hinge]

😭

[delicate silo]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1465430715372933316/1482992681150976110/togif.gif

[supple rose]

Na more like 6/10 vs 9/10

[delicate silo]

At a certain point plane photography is far less about the plane its self

[brisk hinge]

this is objectively much better

[supple rose]

I can still see the heads

[brisk hinge]

there

10/10 photo

[sick wedge]

Mmmmmm yummy

[brisk hinge]

real talk though keeping the people in the photo adds some humanity to the image, it shows that this situation is attainable and relatable. It makes it more personal

[eager geyser]

too cropped, use remove tool on heads

[sick wedge]

I think what makes/breaks is how much you're putting in frame with your subject

But idk I just work here

[brisk hinge]

yeah it's definitely a balance

[eager geyser]

Are you using Lightroom or no?

[sick wedge]

I can still see the plane, crop it some more

[eager geyser]

oh this is a @delicate silo image

with like resolution of 5x5

[brisk hinge]

hit 'em with the JP crop

[supple rose]

If they are all looking up it’s just giving that airshow look where a mass of people stands. It has to be done differently with like less people/ not just cut out people, out of focus holding their cameras and hands up. It’s mostly this mass and the holding up the phone that bothers me but I have barely seen photos with people but no phones in them.

[eager geyser]

I thought lev took the left photo y u only got 5 pixels

[brisk hinge]

i'm not sure what you're saying honestly

[brisk hinge]

knowing him he probably stole it and passed it off as his own

[supple rose]

Can’t you read?

[sick wedge]

This honestly. Too many phones, big crowds, and people not actually paying attention breaks using people in the frame for me

[brisk hinge]

no 👍

[delicate silo]

yeah I dont thinkk I cropped it

POBS =- BOA

[supple rose]

🫷👏👊🤛🤌👈👉🫸🤘🤟✊👌👍🤛🤟🤞🫸🫸🫸💪👋🖖☝️🫲

What

[delicate silo]

i forgot cobre might be good at this plane spotting thing

[brisk hinge]

i'm secretly goated at this

[brisk hinge]

it’s just giving that airshow look where a mass of people stands
yeah, sometimes that's exactly what i'm going for. I want to show the personality and humanity of airshows, not just planes in a blue sky

when you go to as many airshows as i go to, you get really bored of just taking photos of planes in the sky (even if there happens to be trees in the background)

[supple rose]

Yeah so you like it, I don’t we have different opinions so what? We just have different opinions and that should be alright, we don’t all have to like the same thing. Alright?

[brisk hinge]

hmmmmm

no

👍

[delicate silo]

👍

[brittle bridge]

What are we fighting about now

[brisk hinge]

can't believe i have a CAP member on my side

[brisk hinge]

plane photos

[brittle bridge]

Lev stealing yours

[brisk hinge]

no

eric doesn't know art

[delicate silo]

for real bro lock in

[brisk hinge]

which is a better image peyton

[brittle bridge]

What just like basic ass plane photos against a blue background

[brittle bridge]

I would say the left

With the ba

[brisk hinge]

see

[brittle bridge]

More interesting

Not just horizontal jet

It’s framed between two others

[delicate silo]

lowk right because i dont have anywhere near me where thats possible, and i can get the shot on the left

[brisk hinge]

which one

[brittle bridge]

Left yet again

Right is boring as fuck

[brisk hinge]

see

[brittle bridge]

I mean its a fine photo but compared to the left one

Giving jetphotos vibes

[brisk hinge]

but the left one has people in it which instantly ruins a photo bro

[brittle bridge]

Boring as shit

[brittle bridge]

Fuck man youre right

You better delete it now

[brisk hinge]

fr

[brittle bridge]

So ass bro just put the camera down

Can’t even get the plane in a clear shot

Cause every single photo needs to be just the plane and nothing else

[brisk hinge]

time to hang it up i guess

[delicate silo]

people bad (lowk airshow)

[brittle bridge]

Yeah

Go shoot some organic airplanes

[delicate silo]

better than levs trash airshow photos with people

[brisk hinge]

going to quit my job and become a nature photographer

wow i cooked

[delicate silo]

cooking?!

[brittle bridge]

Ay bro theres trees in the way

It’s fucking trash

[brisk hinge]

💔

[brittle bridge]

Have u seen the project Hail Mary movie by chance

I started the book yesterday

It’s really good so far

[brisk hinge]

yes

[brisk hinge]

have you seen the movie yet

[brittle bridge]

No

Im reading the book before the movie

[brisk hinge]

read the book first imo

and then make sure you watch it in imax

[brittle bridge]

Im just past chapter 5 i believe

[brittle bridge]

I have no clue where i can watch it in imax near me

[brisk hinge]

how close is omaha

[brittle bridge]

30 mins

[brisk hinge]

perfect

go there

[brittle bridge]

Didn’t think there was imax in omaha

[brisk hinge]

yeah AMC

[brittle bridge]

They dont have phm in imax

[brisk hinge]

you might've missed it though

yeah

[brittle bridge]

Shame

Maybe they will rerun it again in imax before it leaves

Right now its the Michael Jackson movie being shown

[brisk hinge]

well regardless, go see it once you finish the book

[brittle bridge]

Yeah

The Martian was really good so im excited

[delicate silo]

great movie

didnt readb ook

[brittle bridge]

Closest i can get to imax is b&b grand screen

[brisk hinge]

the book is better but it's a good movie adaptation

[brittle bridge]

Or acx select

[delicate silo]

goated movie

how am I supposed to pick which pictures I want to print?

they are all equally bad

[brisk hinge]

print them all

i've ended up with like 10 prints just from Daytona

actually more than that

[delicate silo]

only have room for like 5

[brisk hinge]

@brittle bridge what focus point plugin do you use for lrc

latest version gives me this

[delicate silo]

theres a focus point thing?

[brisk hinge]

a plugin to show where the focus point was yeah

[delicate silo]

fire

i need that

[uneven fog]

In theory yes, but in a real scenario they’d replace jets at the rag and those jets would go see combat

[uneven fog]

What I’m sayin

[uneven fog]

Stray

[uneven fog]

Stray

[delicate silo]

meant to say cobre but didnt correct myself

[uneven fog]

Kinda boring but I thought it was cool to be above the thing

[brisk hinge]

neat

[eager geyser]

2nd photo is that actual water or did you put your phone screen or some other reflective surface at the bottom of the lens?

[brisk hinge]

it was a puddle on top of the rock i was on

[eager geyser]

Thats an insanely flat puddle

I dream of that puddle

[brisk hinge]

yeah it was absolutely perfect

[uneven fog]

Muscle memory for making fun of me

[delicate silo]

factss

❤️

[eager geyser]

He's got that on a macro

[dusk spindle]

Lowk i prefer the pan here

[eager geyser]

High key because same

[brisk hinge]

lame

no taste

can't lie it's a perfectly fine photo though

[eager geyser]

The one with the angels is too busy

[dusk spindle]

1 or 2 aha

[eager geyser]

2

1 is really cool but not enough frame

2 is badass

Whos the helicopter guy?

[brittle bridge]

Pretty sure the first one that pops up

Z6iii moment

[eager geyser]

@sage cape is this friend or do I start praying

Apparently its a Sikorsky MH-60 R Seahawk

O lovely anti submarine and I live on a coast

[sage cape]

It is

[delicate silo]

Omg

[brisk hinge]

holy dutch angle

[uneven fog]

His pfp too 😭

[brisk hinge]

fr

[brittle bridge]

bro stop with the dutch angle

[uneven fog]

Guys maybe we need to be more welcoming when people show up here

[brittle bridge]

no

[uneven fog]

ok

Not jetphoto crop = ass

[brittle bridge]

lev photo = ass

[uneven fog]

Real

It’s been a good week

[brittle bridge]

*mid week

[uneven fog]

horrid take

[eager geyser]

Why do you only do good framing on boring shots

[uneven fog]

I care more about the planes than the pictures

I was into aviation long before I was ever into photography

[eager geyser]

so don't u want an epic photo of planes

Dang r7 has 32mp

Whats the lore on why Lev is the punching bag here

Sometimes his nice replies like that make me feel mean

[brisk hinge]

you should feel mean, lev is nice

but he also steals photos because he can’t take his own

[brisk hinge]

needs more dutch angle and less foreground

[eager geyser]

U had me in the first half

One day Levs gonna snap and come out and share he is a disabled and has severe arthritis or something so photography is really hard for him and we gonna be looking really awful

[brittle bridge]

I think I have reached peak in the phm book

[brisk hinge]

mmm

[brittle bridge]

it’s so good

andy cooked

[brisk hinge]

||lev can take photos, the joke is that we were at the same show last year and got similar shots||

[brittle bridge]

@uneven fog meet me at Sioux Falls

airshow

[eager geyser]

Peyton wants to steal ur photos now

[brittle bridge]

nah

[eager geyser]

We have some of the largest airshows in the world here yet I've only seen llama say they go here for them

[brisk hinge]

which show

[eager geyser]

Most recently Sun n Fun

[brisk hinge]

ive not made it to snf yet but i’ve been going to osh for years

[brittle bridge]

I have two air shows planned this year 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I wanna make it 3 with Oshkosh

[eager geyser]

I think snf is #2 behind osh in terms of size and attendance iirc

[brisk hinge]

probably

[brittle bridge]

no it’s offutt trust

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[eager geyser]

Tamron sets up a really nice area for photographers at SNF. Bleachers, free ice water, neck gaiters, first come first serve to free lens rentals, lockers, and the best part - an air conditioned trailer with NICE bathrooms. No porta potties

[brisk hinge]

i saw something about that

for credentialed photographers or anyone with a camera?

[eager geyser]

Anyone

Media and marketing get free spots to it but they get on cranes so they don't really take seats just use the shade in between shoots. Anyone else pays for a seat and its a little price to where its affordable but a normal person probably wouldn't do it

And seats sell out quick they don't let it crowd

There was probably 30 of us total? Out of the thousands attending

[brittle bridge]

🥹

the goat has been introduced

[brisk hinge]

not looking good for charleston

[brittle bridge]

💀

rip

[delicate silo]

no

we I are equally mean to everyone

They just don't realize everything we say is a complete joke

[dusk spindle]

Using apple weather

[dark hare]

this one isntt very mili looking but they used it in combat or wtv the hell

[delicate silo]

[uneven fog]

Viper not going I bet

[uneven fog]

Ok I will work on it

[uneven fog]

Foreflight makes it look a lot worse 😭

@brisk hinge Get them bags for the speakers ready

[brisk hinge]

the best app

[brisk hinge]

i’m not working this show just watching tbh

but we’re only setting like 8 speakers

[delicate silo]

Never seen a special livery

[brittle bridge]

It is NOT the best app

Istg its inaccurate as shit

[uneven fog]

Real

Foreflight forever

Anyways chat

MiG 28s

[delicate silo]

F5 you lucky duck

[eager geyser]

Dang dude ur shutter sounds like a warthog

[uneven fog]

Also F-16s, F-15s, F-35s, F-18s

Best 3 days of spotting in my life

[eager geyser]

You were allowed that close to an airport fence without a black escalade rolling up?

[flint smelt]

Hawaii too you can get close

[delicate silo]

Should see lakenheath

[delicate silo]

Buhhhh

[flint smelt]

Im the D1 Gatekeeper 😀

Na

[delicate silo]

Will there be a b2 there for me

[flint smelt]

Depends if trump wants to start another war

[eager geyser]

You're on a list now for sure

[delicate silo]

W

[flint smelt]

The only time they’ll stop here is if they have a diversion

Other than that they’ll straight shot it to diego garcia

Or guam

[uneven fog]

Yeah lol

sheriff drove past a couple times and never said anything

[brisk hinge]

legitimately a skill issue

currently hanging out with friends of mine who are the parents of razz’s seaplane instructor up in alaska ✌️

also apparently an F-15 lost a canopy recently? @uneven fog know anything about that?

i forget where

[uneven fog]

Fresno

was a C model

Makes sense tbh

Ancient jet

canopy landed somewhere in the desert

pretty sure the jet went back to Fresno

[brisk hinge]

ah yeah it was Fresno

any word on whether it was a ride/pilot had something loose in the cockpit/etc to cause that?

[eager geyser]

The canopy was inspired by free bird and was tired of being held down

[uneven fog]

It was a flyover and I’m near positive a c model so I doubt it was a ride

Could be something loose but that’s not how typical ejection seats work now

I bet just fatigue on whatever latch holds the canopy on

physics wise I think even if you hit the bar/switch to open the canopy in flight I don’t think it would open

[brisk hinge]

that seems very unlikely

there’s a jettison handle with explosives

[uneven fog]

does the C model have that? I know old jets you used to have to jettison the canopy and then fire the seat but I didn’t think that was a thing anymore

[brisk hinge]

i’m not sure about C’s specifically

[uneven fog]

you’re probably right

That’s probably how they get out on the ground in an emergency

I still would not rule out fatigue though

Those C models are pretty old

Speaking of C models

Test jet

Wonder if they were testing the canopy today lol

[brisk hinge]

my friend who’s an ex tomcat demo pilot sounded like they don’t ever just fall off

[uneven fog]

I’m sure it’s not common

But if everything lines up

Someone misses a crack in an inspection

Some other shit happens

Some rough edits from today

[brisk hinge]

z9ii

i’ve seen it

[delicate silo]

under exposed

[delicate silo]

im using an 11yr camera twin idk

(none)

[brisk hinge]

might shoot charleston airshow practice from the water tomorrow with a big bridge in the background

we'll see if i feel like bringing my pelican case aboard my friend's boat

[trail pelican]

holy overexposure u almost blinded me

[brisk hinge]

it's so soft too

[uneven fog]

400mm

• Florida heat

[uneven fog]

Sorry I’ll darken it

[eager geyser]

Where

[brisk hinge]

in florida

typically that’s where florida heat is

[eager geyser]

Where in Florida har har dad joke

Maybe I want to steal Lev's photos

For justice

[uneven fog]

Eglin

[uneven fog]

Let me fact check this one

Alright it’s true

Guys

The first step in getting help is asking for it

I am asking for it

I don’t think I know what a properly exposed photo look like

[eager geyser]

Oh thats hardly florida sadge

[uneven fog]

Probably the best place in Florida for spotting

NPA VPS PAM within like 3 hours of eachother is absolutely insane

[eager geyser]

Thats like a 9 hour drive

I live near Patrick, I see a lot of biiiig planes

[uneven fog]

Heavies get boring pretty quick

[eager geyser]

I like some meat on em bones

[brisk hinge]

just look at any of mine

[supple rose]

@lavish loom

Guess what

Last Thursday I saw a tornado, and today I saw an ME262

Replica

But always during school😭

[lavish loom]

😭

Ill get to see an me262 at sanicole airshow in September

[supple rose]

K

I basically just gotta wait

They usually fly at this time of the year not tha rarely

But I missed it a couple of times last year when it flew over my friends house

[supple rose]

Guess what

[brisk hinge]

chicken butt

[supple rose]

A chinook just flew like 5km away from me

Above my friends house

[uneven fog]

Breaking

Groceries found in grocery store

[night wing]

Those are really fun to see fly I saw one at Oshkosh last year

[brisk hinge]

can confirm

[delicate silo]

prop blur where

[brisk hinge]

was more focused on getting shots of the 262, they didn't fly it a ton and most of their passes were pretty high

wanted to make sure i got good shots of it

[delicate silo]

tsk tsk

[supple rose]

Imagine needing to go to an airshow for a 262… (this will backfire Ik it already )

[brisk hinge]

what i got vs what you got

[supple rose]

Fuck

Let me try again

Imagine needing to go to an airshow to see a 262…

[brisk hinge]

imagine seeing a 262 and not being able to prove it or have cool photos to look back on

[supple rose]

Actually studies show that not taking pictures and simply living the moment leads to much stronger and lasting memories.

lol

[brisk hinge]

i disagree

i think there’s a balance but having photos of something like that helps me remember even better

anyway fema just recently had to make an emergency landing in panama

not sure if he’ll make it to charleston this weekend

[eager geyser]

Studies show that I dont care what studies show bc I like photography

[supple rose]

A study which I just made up says cobre and llama are married

[delicate silo]

@brisk hinge omg really?

[brisk hinge]

TIL

[uneven fog]

I said this did I not

[brisk hinge]

no

[uneven fog]

Maybe it was in the forums not here

[uneven fog]

I also heard this

[supple rose]

What a nice (||new||)couple right?

[eager geyser]

Why did you sensor gay

R u afraid it might make u start feeling new ways if you see it

[supple rose]

No

I did it so they open it and expect something else and now read that

I could uncensor it

But I won’t

[brisk hinge]

what could we have possibly expected otherwise

that was the obvious answer

[supple rose]

Yeah idk

[uneven fog]

Probably not new ways

[uneven fog]

Hot take- the blue angels need to do more formations in delta

Look at the Tbirds, Snowbirds, Red arrows

They all have multiple different formations during the show

[brisk hinge]

hmm

good take

[uneven fog]

I completely messed up the numbering

But you get the point

That would look cool

[brisk hinge]

don’t quit your day job…

[uneven fog]

Van goh

[uneven fog]

@brisk hinge If you lock in the photo opportunities for Charleston look good

[brisk hinge]

tomorrows my day and the rain keeps getting pushed later 🤞

[brisk hinge]

i’m thinking 70-200

this is roughly the box from my memory, and i’ll be watching from the green arrow

[supple rose]

Military heli (ik prop blur missing but that was from three weeks ago

Unedited too

[night wing]

Maybe taking photos with your phone camera

I have way more fun with my r10

[supple rose]

true lol

[dusk spindle]

Genuinely cant stay home

Big things coming soon (hopefully) the situation is under review. Stay tuned.

[uneven fog]

big ahh backpack

[uneven fog]

Coast guard posted an actual map

Atleast the safety area for boats

Which I assume is pretty much the same as the box definitions

[brisk hinge]

[dusk spindle]

Low cost airfare WAS lost💔

Now we only have frontier

[brisk hinge]

[wind zealot]

Anything to improve on here?

[brisk hinge]

i'd crop it slightly higher, so that the horizon is lower in the image

[uneven fog]

Breeze?

Avelo?

[uneven fog]

What’s the word for today

It’s broken 1k 4sm right now

[uneven fog]

Pirep an hour ago was ovc 006

it’s not happening

I almost went to Charleston this weekend too

Incredibly glad I didn’t

[brisk hinge]

for real

[uneven fog]

Eglin was peak too

[brisk hinge]

the rain broke and vis was 3mi earlier but not for long

ceilings have been ok, but vis is the issue here

(according to AWOS at least)

[uneven fog]

Do yall have one set up at show center?

Or just using the CHS one?

[brisk hinge]

no, i'm just checking KJZI

[brittle bridge]

show

[brisk hinge]

let me check chs

[uneven fog]

Damn this ASOS for JZI sucks

Yo get off the fuckin line

[brisk hinge]

yeah for real

lets go fly

they called it nvm

rip

[uneven fog]

Depends where that scat layer is tho

yeah that’s the smart thing to do

[brisk hinge]

unfortunately yeah

[uneven fog]

those guys getting sketchy with what they’ll send it in

Me when I’m genuinely stupid

the funniest part is that they DID fly a show Thursday and Friday

[brisk hinge]

for real

[uneven fog]

Simulated flame out

F-5 overhead

Strike Eagle overhead

[brisk hinge]

look at this nerd

[dark hare]

this but more planes fr

[brisk hinge]

Blue Angels A-4 spotted 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

best demo jet of all time

[uneven fog]

this is a hot take

But it’s a good one

The legacy hornet is right there with it tho

[brisk hinge]

the first time I was at the museum at NAS Pensacola and saw the skyhawks hanging from the ceiling i just about fell to my knees

[uneven fog]

I got trolled so hard

Couldn’t go on base for practice or for the museum

[brisk hinge]

L

have you ever been to the museum?

[uneven fog]

I’m walking through the airport to fly home

And I see the post that the museum is back open for visitor

[brisk hinge]

💀

[uneven fog]

I got cool shots from Pickens

But still

There’s trees in that one tho so it’s terrible

[delicate silo]

And a boat terrible

[delicate silo]

Crazy vapor

[uneven fog]

It was pretty dry too otherwise

Just every time they rounded that corner it flared up

[brisk hinge]

yeah that's insane

[eager geyser]

Apparently Vero Beach is having an airshow really soon and its cheap cheap

Wonder if its worth it

[uneven fog]

Not terrible not great

[eager geyser]

Ah thanks for finding it. Only $25 and a 30min drive but idk

Bit tired of the blue angels f-18s at the moment. Thats a lotta prop planes too

Mig 17 is cool. Always funny looking to see a giant hole in the front

[uneven fog]

I haven’t seen the eagles but I bet they put on a good demo

[eager geyser]

They're pretty planes

[brisk hinge]

they’re neat

[eager geyser]

Idk maybe I'll go i'll leave it up to the girlfriend

Prop planes sound so uninteresting to me after I've watched redbull literally pick people up off the ground in a prop plane and fly with them tom cruise style

The Vero Beach airport is really nice. Has an amazing mom n pop breakfast spot thats been family run for the past like 50 years inside of it

My dad used to fly me there as a kid for breakfast every now and then. Good memories

[uneven fog]

Isn’t piper on the field there

[dusk spindle]

Yeah they have fuck all routes lmao

[uneven fog]

What in gods name going on at EWR

😭

[dark hare]

United B764 came in a bit too low

Knocked over a lamppost AND hit a truck

The guy survived with minor injuries

[lavish loom]

what the helly

[brisk hinge]

did the plane hit the truck or did the lamppost hit the truck?

[dark hare]

plane hit truck and lampost

[brisk hinge]

i’ve heard conflicting reports

[dark hare]

cuz the lamppost hit a car

not the truck

[uneven fog]

Could’ve also been jetblast that took the truck out

I’m pretty sure no one is landing on that runway ever again though 😭

[eager geyser]

That is going to be one insane insurance claim

[stray tangle]

How do you survive that shit

he showed this but did not say it

i hate him

facebook is something else man

charleston is a C-17 base

maybe the largest C-17 base in the country

looks like a kuwaiti moose though, which are cool

[uneven fog]

That’s why I doubt it’s even happening

I’m sure that’s like a very small detail of some larger thing

The larger thing not being a tomcat demo team

Fuck I’m so conflicted whether to do Columbus or St Louis
