Guys,

I have to say this kind of flying by historic aircraft I do not appreciate. Yes, I would photograph a pass like that and I would be in awe. It is very impressive but just a little downdraft, bobble, blink of an eye and the aircraft would be erased from our sights and take a few people with it. This in turn would give very bad press to vintage aircraft and the airshow scene. A pass at 10-15 feet would have just the same effect but give a little more safety margin. As a photographer I really appreciated passes like this in the past but not any more.

Despite no one else bringing up this type of comment I felt it needed to be said.

Happy Landings,

Eric
