Default Sun-N-Fun Night Shots
Hello all,

This is my first post though I have hopped on and off periodically. I am rv8guy's youngest son (I also came up with his login).

These are some pictures I took during and after the Night Air Show at Sun-n-Fun this year. Most of these were taken with a 50mm lens over a 20-30 second exposure.

*also There will be a Pancake Breakfast this Saturday 5/8/2010 at KAHN Athens, GA at 9:00a.m. come on out.

This is the glider with sparklers on its wings.


The twin Beech's show is really awesome with its swooping lines and insane number of lights.


Bruce Sack's excellent RV-9


A pair of RV's that flew in together my Friend (who may have been a bit tipsy) demanded I take a photo and they were nice enough to sit still.


Alright, that's it for me I have a few more night Pictures and some of the airshow I can post of you want. Not many of static planes though.

Default More Shots
Here are some more shots from Night. I will upload some good old fashioned daytime photos later.


Yaks opened up the show.


Miss Sue. The other side is much better looking imo.


Tico Belle


A Lanceair maybe? with a 4 bladed MT.


An apparently insane helicopter pilot shooting off fireworks from his helicopter.

Really excellent pictures! It was great to meet you and thanks for shooting my plane.
That night in HBC was something else. Food, drinks, and a nighttime airshow. It doesn't get much better than that.
