While the weekend was cloudy, it was still nice weather
for spectators to take advantage of the annual Stuart Air Show at Witham Field.
The partly cloudy skies provided just the right backdrop for the spectacular
display of aerial prowess by daring pilots in modern as well as vintage
aircraft. There was a full scale WWII battle reenactment including a parachute
drop. Demonstrations by the Air Force F16 Fighting Falcon, the Navy F18 Hornet
and a vintage Mig 17 supersonic fighter jets, as well as a variety of other
aerobatic demonstrations, including the Navy
Leap Frogs parachute jump with the American flag. Disappointingly,
the ever popular AeroShell Aerobic team did not make it this year. I tried
using a new 55-300mm Nikkor lens this year - but think I prefer my old versatile
18-200mm to capture a wider view and more of the action.
