Default Air Show pics (56K go watch grass grow)
Here are a few pics of the air show I attended today. I had the pleasure to sit front row, dead center of the point of reference for the pilots. I got a chance to see the new F/A-22 Raptor which it was awesome. There few other.

This is how close we were sitting

Nice pics Duane, which I would have taken my Nikon instead, but did feel like carrying all that stuff.

what causes the white condensate on the wings of the jets that are turning? Low pressure?

Is the friction of cool air hitting the surface of the plane and heating up. At least that is what I was told.

As the air goes over the wing the air pressure is dropped. As the air pressure drops so does the air temperature. If the temperature of the air going over the wing has sufficient humidity and the air temp drops below the dew point then you get fog.
