Air Show 2017 As Seen By A Lakewoodite

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

This year for the 2017 Cleveland Air Show I went down mostly to see the F/A18 Hornet, But stuck around one day for the Thundebirds and other stuff. You can see all the photos on my photo blog at: http://www.lakewoodobserver.com/photobl ... -show-2017

Here is a sample.

As it pulls out of its dive, water vapor condenses on the top of the wing and appears as clouds.

The higher the humidity the better the contrails!

A high speed pass at about 700 mph.

A 500 mph, 4G turn!.

You can almost read his watch!

Amazing photos, Jim!

Thanks for sharing.

It seemed quieter over Lakewood this past weekend compared to previous years.
