Title: Avalon Airshow 2015
Post by: Snowy on March 22, 2015, 05:55:15 AM

Hi chaps,

It has been a while since my last post. Here are some photos I took at the recent Avalon International Airshow. Not the best sky for lighting and backdrop for photos but a very enjoyable display all the same.

Great pics Snowy, thanks for sharing. I wish I could have been there. These type of planes rarely come to So California.  :(

I am pleased you like them fellas.

Lance, it was really terrible. They kept taxiing and flying past us.  As I was doing nothing else at the time I took some photos. I would rather have been mowing the lawn or something like that.  ;)
