Brookhaven? "Grand Old Airshow"

[nikon50bigma]

Anyone heading out to Brookhaven this weekend for the "airshow"?

[GrummanFan]

I should be out there, I love old radials and vintage stuff. If you ever wanted to know what an air show was like during the 20's and 30's, you won't be disappointed.

I'll be out there on Sat.
Did you go to last year's show there?

[emshighway]

My brother and I will be out there tomorrow.

Do you guys know if there will be bleachers or anything of that sort?

No bleachers, bring your own chair. Went yesterday and it was nice until they shut down at 2:30. Of course today is great.

I was there Saturday as well, and it would have been perfect if only the weather cooperated. The light was at a great angle, everyone was really close to the showline, and there was lots of prop blur to be had! However, I think I ended up taking more pictures of the cars then the planes.

We must have been standing close to each other because I have similar angles.

Probably. I was on the right side near the CH-34, amongst a bunch of other people with shiny cameras. :borat:

Yep, my brother and I were on the right side. I had the Nikon D80 and my brother had the D200.
