Well, it's that time of year again when I get my workout swinging large lenses again! I've uploaded a bunch to my gallery from the first two air shows. Rob

Very nice Rob. I really like the F4 Phantom - brings back some memories. Nice how they painted your name on the second helicopter - good advertisement . Looking forward to your air show photos this year.

Nice pictures as always Rob. Love the photo of the Phantom and also the top one of the helicopter face on!

The helicopter was most of the reason I spent six hours on the road last Saturday. Not very often you'll see a Russian Hind helicopter flying in the US. That head on shoot isn't the one I'd want to be seeing if the original cannon was still in place! Rob

It's all been said by other members but I will still add my congrats - excellent exposures and I particularly think the Hind is just awesome. BTW what gear were you using?

Not so big. That's why the first airshow or two of the season is harder for me. Got to get back into being able to pan the big lens again. And then the painkillers after :) Rob

As long as its not paracetamol then you should be OK. Paracetamol would not get a license if it was brought to market now as it is so toxic. Not recommended except at dosages below those stated on the Patient Information Leaflet!

I don't think that's even available here in the US :) Mostly I just use ibuprofen these days. Rob
