![]() The flight demonstrations began with the US Army’s “Golden Knights” Parachute team Thunderbirds lined up and waiting their turn. The slightly less mighty, but still lethal M61-A1 Vulcan 20mm Gatling Cannon on the F-16. Seeing that F-16 cockpt really shows off just how old and tiny those planes really are. My daughter was able to talk with a Red Flag Aggressor pilot. The business end of the A-10 Warthog the mighty GAU-8 “Avenger” 30mm Gatling Cannon. My kids in the cockpit of a C-130 Hercules. Loved this view from one of its porthole windows. Looking to the Cockpit of a B-1b Bomber from the hatch behind the front landing gear.(it’s as far as they let us go)ī-1B, KC-10 Extender and C-5A Galaxy. We arrived plenty early to walk through a few planes before any of the flight demos began. On with the pictures in chronological order (ish) My poor D7000 even in bright sunlight had a tough time keeping focus at times and I missed plenty of shots waiting for that stupid buffer to clearĪlso a quick disclaimer on the names of the performers and their aircraft, I’m going off of the online schedule, but I think a few were changed around so please forgive me if there are any errors, if you know what should be corrected please let me know and I’ll fix it. It would be an understatement to say that I took a lot of shots, thank goodness for 32GB cards, but what I wouldn’t have given for a D4s and its huge buffer and frame rate. I’ll spare you all the gritty details of waking up early, traffic, parking, waiting in line to tour planes, big umbrellas in your sight line, sunburns and oh wait well…there you go. I was super excited to finally have a “real” camera to shoot them this time around. The last time I saw the Thunderbirds at Hill Air Force Base I was using a Canon Powershot A710 point and shoot camera. 20mm, 30mm, 8mm rokinon fisheye, A-10, Ace Maker, Aerobatics, Agressor, aileron roll, Air Force, aircraft, airplanes, Airshow, Aluminum, Apron, Avenger, B-1b, B-1B Bomber, Big, Biplane, blue sky, Buck Roetman, C-130 Hercules, C-130a, c-17 Globemaster, C-5a Galaxy, Cannon, Cargo hold, Chapman, Civilian, climb, Cockpit, D7000, Dan Buchanan, Diamond Back, Display, Dive, Down, Edge 540, F-16, F-16 Falcon, Flight, Flight Line, fly, Fly-by, flying, Gary Rower, GAU-8, Golden Knights, gun barrell, gun port, Hang glider, HDR, Head-on, high speed, Hill AFB, Hill Air Base, Hill Air Force, Holland, Howard Jackman, Impressive, Inside, Interior, Jet Trainer, Jets, Lancer, Large, Low Pass, M61a1, Mark Peterson, Military, Mustang, MX, Nik Color Effex Pro, Nik Filters, Nikkor 70-300mm, Nikon, Open, P-51, P-51 Mustang, Parachute, Performance, Photography, Pitts, Plane, Planes, Propellers, PT17, pull, Pwered Hang Glider, Ramp, roar, Rotors, Salt Lake City, Smoke, spinning, Static Display, Stein, Summer, sumoetx, symbol, T-33, tag, Tarmac, Thunderbird, Thunderbirds, turning, up, UT, Utah, Vietnam Era Aircraft, Vulcan Gatling, Warriors over the Wasatch 2014, Warthog ![]()
