Thunderbirds captured by D5 / 180-400VR
Sun&Fun is a great gathering of planes, pilots, photographers and aviation fans! This annual event brings a boat load (should say plane load but just doesn’t have the same punch) of great photographic opportunities especially if you go prepared. One of the brilliant acts is the AF Thunderbirds. Knowing their routine which does change each year permits your to be prepared for those special moments. You can prepare by going one day, winging it (there’s a plane joke for ya) and then doing better on day two with that knowledge, or… Most aviation acts have their routine on YouTube which makes it easy to watch and learn their routine so you came make the most of every day of shooting. Knowing when they are doing any of their formations like you see here, prior to them on display helps knowing to shoot vertical or horizontal, at 200mm or 400mm. It’s really a simple thing you can do that pays huge dividends on the flight line. The weekend and airshows fun in the sun and around the corner!
