Anyone catch the air show on Saturday in HR? This guy was so slow that I had time to open my trunk, change lenses, turn on the camera and click away. Photo taken from the sandbar parking lot.

That was intense!  What a ride flying right up the gorge!
Always quick on the draw Ethan. Nice work!!  |

Great shot! He was so close to ground level I was glad not to be flying my paraglider at that moment. Getting whacked by a huge rotor wind from that thing could have made for some serious stinkage, if you know what I mean.

| That was a surprise for sure, must have been quite a view (from the pilots perspective.) I've seen full on fighter jets ripping through the Gorge going real fast. Might be the only thing more fun than kiting in the Gorge. |
