Airventure 2010 -- Complete with Crash

Morty is in Oshkosh for the annual air show. Rain last week put the kibosh on many camping areas,  but we are close to where we were last year, just in a little more mud. The pictures at the end of this slide show depict a jet that crashed on landing right in front of us. Talk about freezing in the headlights, I was 200 feet from the plane with my camera ready to take pictures, but I could only think about which way to run as this guy was coming right for us and out of control. There are some published airborne and crashing pictures here.

Weather Holder -- Warmer Memories

There's no warming in sight. So we sit tight and look at some memories from July -- Airventure to be more specific. These were taken with my Nikon D40 -- with some lens dirt that has since been cleaned away. My neighbor who went with me wondered how my camera was able to fire off shots so quickly. The answer is simply  that is the way most Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras work.
