CML  > Airplanes > Dayton Airshow 2009
This year featured a Brazilian AF demo squadron, the USAF Thunderbirds, and many others!
I rented a Canon 100-400mm L lens for this airshow, so there should be some improvement over those I took last year with my little 75-300mm...

CML > The USAF Heritage flight for the airshow had a P-51 and an A-10 fly formation. This is perhaps the first Heritage flight I've seen where the P-51 was flying formation with an aircraft actually made to operate at similar speeds.
CML > An A-10 clearing hard left after a mock strafing run with some nice trailing vortices.
CML > A-10 close pass. This has always been one of my favorite aircraft. It looks like it will take everything you throw at it, get angry and blow you up. Maybe not in that order.
CML > The Força Aérea Brasileira Esquadrilha da Fumaça (Brazilian Air Force Smoke Squadron) flying seven Embraer T-27 Tucano turboprop aircraft. This squadron only rarely performs in the U.S. making this a rare sight. Too bad for us as they are the most precise demo squad I've seen in a long while.
