The Planes of Fame Air Show in Chino, CA - WWII vintage warbirds.
Many different types of fighters and bombers were flying for the show including:
P-51s, P-40s, P-38s, F4Us, Zeros, Val, Spitfire, Hellcat, Wildcat, Firefly, Bearcat, Fury, B-25s, and a B-17.

Photos were shot with a Nikon D200 and D50 w/ a 70-300mm VR lens, and 18-55mm lens.
Prop planes shot in shutter priority exposure mode (mostly between 1/160 and 1/320sec), with continuous autofocus.
The jet shots were around 1/1000sec.

This is a terrific slideshow of brilliant clarity photos..........enjoy

Nice post. It brought back memories of my one and only trip to Oshkosh in '76. The Sea Fury at oshkosh had a 5 bladed prop and made a terrific howl in a 400mph+ fly by.

Sure got some excellent pictures. Beautiful job capturing prop blur. And I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one to get a tilted horizon.

The comments on the Corsairs reminded me of a TV reviewers comments about the Black Sheep TV show. He wrote that the show was enjoyable even though a Corsair would take off with a three bladed prop and land with a four bladed one.

I don't know why but somehow the German halftracks remind me of Cadillacs.....

 

Great pictures, just had to look at each one! Couldn't help but think about the awsome job thoes great war birds and their crews did and what a debt we all owe. Thanks for the post.
