Hola compadres! Have been away for a long, long time as Dubai decided to block Flicker and I could not view most of the fine pictures you guys share. But I am on vacation back home in USA, so I'll take advantage of this time and view your shots, as well as post some of mine. Let's get the film (memory card?) rolling with some shots from the Dubai Air Show last November.

Welcome back!

Great timing getting 3 planes in that first one.

great shots...I don't know how they do this without getting killed

Wow!

Nice colors!! Great shots!

Here in Brazil we have the "Esquadrilha da Fumaça" (Smoke Squadron), from Brazilian Air Force, they do the same show!

Thank you, Patrick.These guys must have nerves of steel, and helluva lot of training. I, on the other hand, have trouble keeping my car in lane!

Thanks for the appreciation, Bluz, This is the French team "Patrouille de France." You ought to share some of the Brazilian team's stunts.

Hola Vakeel...Absolutely amazing timing on these shots...you'd swear they are going to crash. These guys have guts. The colors are fabulous too.

Great action shots. I'll bet that's really hard to photograph.

Thank you, Leona, sometimes the colored smoke gets so heavy that it obscures the view, and you miss some amazing stuff.

Thanks Mike, yes it was hard to capture as it was my first time with high action photography. I shot over 300, but only a handful were worth sharing.
