I really like to shoot air shows. One of the fvorites is at Point Mugu Navel Air Station in Ventura County, California. Why? They're right on the coast line which usually means you get some great vapor off of the tops of the wings. The main headliner is also the Air Force Thunderbirds - which is a twist to have an Air Force team at a Navel Air station, huh?
The day before was very overcast but I had a fireworks show to help out at in Irvine (for the Pacific Symphony). We went on a Sunday. Although the day started overcast, the fog soon burned off and we had bright, blue skies. There were some vapor trails, to be sure, just not as much as they had the day before.
As the day went on, there was a patch of sky that if a plane flew through it, there were trails so I tried to catch them at the exact right time. You'll see some of these with the Thunderbirds.
It was a great time to spend with my son, and the drive home was actually not nearly as bad as I was expecting - which was a bonus since I was *exhausted*.
