    Air Show, Rhinebeck, NY

    I went to the Air Show in upstate NY over the weekend. If anyone is bored and wants to see out-of-focus air antics go to this link for my videos:

    This link is better than the second one:

    I will be adding throughout the day and week. A couple of these vids show the ground act too,( and the cute-but probably underage- damsel in distress).

    I've been to a ton of air shows that were mainly military aircraft (Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Snowbirds, etc.), but this one has the feel of the old Barnstorming days after WW I. Awesome!!!

    I've never been to an air show like that and I have never been able to sit that close to the action. That looks like it would have been a lot of fun!

    (Good job on the video footage. It was well-shot. A little out of focus is much preferable to the shaky-cam footage I usually see.)

        I had the Zoom set to maximum on my digital camera. Even so they were quite close. I still have to post the pictures from the hangars

        Hey! Do it! It rained lightly and they still continued the show. You can even get airplane rides until 2pm. Not sure what they cost.
