Wednesday 16th March 2022, RAF Valley had two F-16 Fighting Falcons divert in due to adverse weather conditions on the East Coast of the United Kingdom. These F-16's are based in Aviano, Italy

The US Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, known as "Thunderbirds", performing aerial demonstrations in F-16C Fighting Falcon at Jones Beach.

The Bethpage Air Show is a Memorial Day weekend tradition, this is the 19th annual event that draws hundreds of thousands of spectators.

To avoid the crowd and traffic, we went to the practice show, saw the same performances but with a fraction of the spectators.

Enjoy your weekend, and I will be taking a moment this weekend to honor those who served our nation and are no longer with us!

Unfortunately Yesterday's air show was totally washed out,

Saturday with better day, I always go on Sunday.

Happy Memorial Day!

Air Power Over Hampton Roads, featuring the Air Force Thunderbirds. This photo is more about showing the amazing sky than it is about the jets themselves. I have better close ups of the jets that I will post later

Finally I uploaded my 1986 photos to my iMac,

Spend 7 hours at the beach and was not fun, so cold with the wind.

We had the thunderbirds this year.

Have a happy memorial day weekend!

Experimenting lower shutter speeds on fast moving jets. Only a few keepers but I am beginning to like them.
