Hey all,

Thought you would like to see some pics of the red bull air race from last weekend :D. It was great to be there and what was even better was getting home after the event to see the delayed telecast on TV to give you a pilots view of the manoeuvres! :wave:

As you can see it is a bit difficult capturing the action with a compact camera (really could’ve used a zoom lens!) but some of them turned out ok. Check out the to_drift one…..that plane was taking off with a cross wind and got so sideways that it was pointing its nose at me standing beside the runway while trying to fly straight :dry: !!

Enjoy,

Ant.

That red bull helicopter really hauled ass. The air race was cool but the highlight for me was definately the f/a-18. That thing was soo damn grunty, some guy said something about it having more power than all cars in an f1 race combined.

I got real drunk and real burnt in the sun, its was sweet :wave:

Hmm the "great pics" i took turned out to be not so great. Got some vids but cause of no zoom you really cant see much.

Thanks for the comments guys. Tell me about it boosty....my compact digi has a 5x optical zoom and the above pics were taken with the max zoom....even then they come out pretty small :)

Time to invest in a SLR me thinks :woot:
