Yep loving the weather here in Glendale! Finally starting to cool down.. I work on the flight line which makes everything 15 degrees hotter Great pictures!

Wow. These shots are aces! You've got a good reflex for capturing those birds at just the right moment. I looked at the original size image of that Insane shot of the Angels on your Flickr page. You can make out the pilot's names. Awesome job!

Actually, at 11 frames per second, I start firing just before the shot I'm trying to get, and release after the action has passed. For each of those well-time shots, there are 6 before it and 6 after it, and I picked out the best one.

Thanks for the comments!
