Danger Zone?

This upcoming weekend is the Abbotsford Air Show..a HUGE event where people travel all around to come and see! Abbotsford since $1, 000,000 into the event and it's quite something. I happen to live close to the airport and get to "enjoy" the airshow from the moment that the planes start arriving. Not exactly prime sleeping conditions for a night shifter like me! Today was the day when a whole bunch of them decided it'd be a great day for practicing, and after realizing that it was pointless to try and sleep anymore, I grabbed my camera and hung out on my balcony for the fly bys! I sure was hoping to catch a glimpse of Maverick and Goose, but I don't think they were on the planes! ;-) They did, however, fly close enough for me to actually SEE the pilots! Insane! Anyhow, hope you enjoy the photos..a small fraction of what I actually took! I think these are my best! Almost all of them are the USAF (United States Air Force) with the last one being some vintage planes in formation. Too bad I'm busy all weekend, I'm not sure I'll actually get another chance like this.
