2024 Pacific Airshow

Well the airshow was a bust, there was so much fog and the fog was so low that no one could really fly. I wasn’t there on Friday, but heard that the show wasn’t great, I was there all day on Saturday and didn’t see a single thing. I could hear the planes, just couldn’t see anything. I went again on Sunday and spent most of the day and then gave up and decided to go and catch planes coming and going from Los Alamitos Base. At least I got some shots for the weekend, but wasn’t at all anything like I was expecting. Or course managed to see a raptor, just not the metallic kind flying around.

2021 Pacific Airshow

This year I was able to go to the Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach. These are some of the shots from Saturday at the 2021 Pacific Airshow before the oil slick caused it be canceled. I wish the airshow hadn’t gotten canceled, but I understand the issue and why it was. I was shooting from the beach with my A9ii and the 200-600 lens. I think next year I will try shooting from the pier along with the beach on the multiple days. It should make for an interesting shoot. The sun was rough for some of the shots because it was directly behind the planes.
