the air show has since been canceled. I drive by the air port every day to get to work. I am going to take photos at night one of these day and get all the red,blues,whites

in 2006 when I moved to Az from Ca my works location was literally next to the airport, our fence was the border. I remember all those planes flying in several days before the show it was a site to see.

Great pictures Fred and these events are very popular with hundreds of people. I note from flomaster the show is now longer is staged, although I guess there are many other venues and opportunities to see these magnificent machines

Hi Jason, I'm sorry to hear the show has been cancelled. My daughter graduated from Embry Riddle. So we went to the air show while she attended there. It seemed like it was a big highlight of the year for the area. At any rate we really enjoyed the show.

Hi Beach, Yes there are other venues to see them. There are a number of them in my area. I don't know about the Prescott AZ area though. Hopefully somebody will pick up the slack for them.

I have a fascination for aircraft being in the business and these are excellent captures of these beautifully restored airplanes. They are all good Fred but I like the second one straight down the middle of the prop..Thanks for sharing one of my other interests..Great work buddy.

You're very welcome Moi... That particular one does fly all over the country to different shows. In fact all the planes pictured still fly. I saw them fly the day we were here.

Thanks so much Jake. I always look forward to your take on things. I am so happy you like them and, doubly so since it's another interest. I like seeing these old warbirds but I have no idea how to operate one. Thanks for looking and posting a comment.

You're very welcome Silverz. I am glad I could at least show you a little bit of one virtually. Thanks for looking and leaving a nice comment.
