Blue Angels - 2010 Joint Services Open House and Air Show at Andrews AFB - May 15, 2010
So, we were at Andrews AFB this past Saturday and of course I took a ton of photos, but I really wanted to share this one with you guys. During the opening ceremonies Paul McCowan parachutes into the show with a massive 5,000 square foot American Flag during the National Anthem. Well I was taking photos and noticed he was headed towards the Blue Angels so I framed up the jet I hoped he was heading towards....but as parachuters come in for a landing they change directions according to the wind, etc.....so I tried to predict where he was heading and framed up the jet and stopped watching the guy coming down.....I kept hoping he was still headed for where I had predicted. Then all of a sudden the flag appeared in my viewfinder and I took the shot.............in the lower left you can see some soldiers running out to catch the flag as it approaches the ground.
