Shooting photos of aircraft from the ground when you don't have a schedule is a real challenge. It is tough at an airshow and you know they are coming over the airfield.
In 1976 for the nations bicentennial the 4th of July celebration at Maxwell AFB was a big air show. Since I lived on base it was easy to just walk over to the airfield. Their headliner show was the Thunderbirds. I don't know if that was just before some of the more restrictive regulations they fly under now or if they bent the rules for a special show. One of the aircraft left the group and went out several miles. He came back over from behind the crowd very low on afterburners. The speed and noise was just stunning.
