[QUOTE="Mike150, post: 82937, member: 2287"] Hey Dave. If it's anything like the Oceana NAS show I went to a few weeks ago, all the action is going to happen right in front of you. The 70-300 should be good. In Virginia, the jets are not allowed low level flights above 590mph (below sound barrier). I boosted my exposure comp a stop, which helped a lot. Keep your shutter speed up, and boost your ISO. It was my first air show, and there were a rew things I learned. 1. When using a CPL filter, Do NOT wear polorizing sunglasses. Really screws up what you seen in the viewfinder. 2. Almost every aircraft that went by did so in both directions. 3. No matter how fast the aircraft, they all made slow passes as well as fast ones. 4. Take Plenty of batteries, and Mem cards. I had taken 800 pictures before I realized I'd left the extra mem card in the camera bag in the car. 5. You'll get hooked. If I can get away, and the weather cooperates, I'm going to a small local airport for a fly in. Mostly static displays but some aerobatics too. [/QUOTE]
