That chopper 3rd shot is sharp as a tack. Love it. Roulettes also look great.

I agree. The 3rd shot is the pick with the offset treatment adding to the impact.
Very nice Chris

the 1st and 3rd shot are awesome
especially the third, looks like a still from a big budget war movie, very moody.

Great photos. The colour of the helos is so accurate too. Well done.
The profile of the Kittyhawk does it for me though. A beautiful aircraft in it's day and still looks sexy.

Chris, you have done a stunning job with these. Im sure anyone who has tried shooting an airshow would agree! The Roulette's shot and the Squirrell Pair are my picks.

Ahh yep, in particular the fast jets are hard to shoot. Mind you, shooting the warbirds can be a challenge too - making sure those props arent frozen is always a good thing.
Thanks for all the kind comments guys
Chris
