Jones Beach Air Show 2009

In what is becoming an annual tradition, once again I ventured down to Jones Beach for the Air Show. This year, the Navy's Blue Angels were replaced by the Thunderbirds of the Air Force. If you've never seen a squadron of F-16's flying overhead, this was the place to be. It can be a challenge to take pictures of planes that can exceed Mach 1 without even trying. After over 70 shots, these were the usable ones. Adding to the challenge, it was an overcast day which wasn't helping either. Anyway, it's always a thrill to see this type of military hardware up close and personal.
