Nice shots, Terrance! It's tough shooting the air show down at Jones Beach - the sun is always in the wrong place, and it was a hazy day, you did a good job with these.

Hi Terrence, The old Planes look great, they look in mint condition too
Nice paint jobs, they certainly have character.
Great Series .... Skippy

It was really interesting how you could shoot facing East around noon and get a very white sky, then shoot facing West a few minutes later and get a clear blue sky.

Those planes are in amazing condition, especially for being near 70 years old. Shining up that Mustang must take forever!

They are nice, aren't they. The Mustang & Warhawk are flown by a father/son team, based out of Brookhaven airport. You can see them at many events and airshows around the area, especially at the Airpower Museum. Exceptionally friendly guys, always a big smile & hello. I haven't been out to their hangar, but those who have say it's clean enough to eat off the floor!
