Jones Beach Air Show 2014

For the 2014 Jones Beach Air Show, I headed over to Republic Airport.  The last few times I have been there for the takeoff of the Blue Angels.  This year, I got there later, and got to see the landing.  There were all sorts of folks lined up along the fence around the airport, and the planes came right over my head.  They were moving fast, and trying to get them in the shutter was the usual action photography challenge.  What was also cool is how they came in for the landing right over Route 110.  The yellow caution sign that says "Low Flying Planes" seen in the 3rd image from the bottom was definitely true today!

Jones Beach Air Show 2012

Blue Angels, Jones Beach 2010

The Jones Beach Airshow has become a Long Island tradition. This year, the headline act was the Blue Angels. They are the Navy's team, and the pilots are chosen from the very best of Naval aviation to fly the F-18's. While I have had issues in years past trying to get some decent pics of these fast jets (shutter lag, haze, etc), this year the planets aligned. Well almost. While the video camera turned out to be not charged, the stills turned out well. I sequenced the best shots together into an online slideshow. Comments appreciated!
