Air Race Qualifying was canceled today in Detroit due to high winds...

We got to see some cool side acts anyways though

Texans




Canadian aerobatic team:




This B25 was gorgeous....



F18 Hornet clipping along just under super sonic..


F-18 and a Late model Corsair


Red Bull Albatross




This was the Pylon blowing away... they couldn't get the damn thing to stay up unfortunately it was just to windy...



These were some of the better shots I took today... More Pictures hopefully from the actual *Race* itself tomorrow....

excellent shots! Thanks -

hopefully the weather cooperates so we can get those shots from the race.

slow

I love me some B-25!

This Chopper was doing barrel-rolls and flying upside down... ( he had a lot of altitude in this pic, it's cropped a bit... and the rotors didn't like my autofocus for some reason....

This was the chase chopper that films it all for ESPN and such.. was pretty neat, he flew the course at the start too.

We took the long way home through the ghetto and past the city airport to see what we could spy on the taxi-way. We saw the Canadian Aerobatic team getting out of their T6-Texans... This was the only one that came out... I didn't have time to switch to manual focus as we were driving by in the car, the fence messed up the other airport shots..
