Wings Over Wayne - Seymour Johnson AFB Air Show, May 2023

moose135

Went to the Wings Over Wayne Air Show at Seymour Johnson AFB last week. After a cloudy start, it turned into a nice day, Blue Angels, F-22 Raptor demo, and some other neat stuff.

1 - Blue Angels

2 - Solos make one of their opposing passes. It's always a challenge to get them both in the frame.

3 -

4 - F-22 Raptor - they really aren't airplanes, airplanes can't do what I've seen the Raptor do!

5 - He's actually dropping straight down while in a level attitude...

6 -

7 - F-15 popping a flare

8 -

9 - 'No Frills Airlines welcomes you aboard!'

10 - USAF Heritage Flight, A-1E Skyraider and F-22 Raptor

11 - In a prior lifetime, I flew planes like this.

That's some good shooting, John. I know you had a good time. I haven't caught the Blue Angels in a couple of years. I'm looking forward to this year.

John....

Excellent images of some "hard-to-get" tack sharp, fast moving aircraft.

Always interesting to see these aircraft up close, and very well photographed.

Thank you for sharing these.
