[QUOTE="STM, post: 373441, member: 12827"] I would not cast that one in stone. I have shot a lot of air shows and a lot of it depends on where you can stand to watch the show. You should [I]always[/I] have some kind of support with you even if it is just a monopod. I shot this image below with the D700, 600mm f/4 AIS and TC-300 (2x) and the gimble head on my heavy Bogen tripod. I could not have gotten this shot without it. Even with my monopod it would have been a stretch. The key to getting eye grabbing airshow photos is to get in CLOSE, otherwise your stuff will just look like every other person's stuff there with a camera, most of which is pretty pedestrian and boring.
