2021 Air Show

A big lens and a fast camera are a great combination, especially with planes that are travelling at hundreds of miles per hour, sometimes approaching the speed of sound.

Incredible the tight formation

Thunderbird 5 (Oct 2, 2021)

Look at the belly and you will see the number 5 is upside down.  A search on the internet suggests this is the "lead solo" pilot, and usually does the upside-down formations

A lot of people (Oct 2, 2021)

The claim is there was 1 million people watching the air show.  I could believe it, the only open sand was the path for the lifeguard trucks.  When I left, there must have been 50 people lined up to order food, and a very crowded beach path
