Nahi yaar. Old Canon 350d. 5D is too expensive to justify to my wife. Camera bodies go obsolete very fast. I am eligible for an upgrade though and I hope canon releases their 60D soon.

I have a number of pics from last time taken with the same camera and a 28-135 F3.5-5.6. This was before I used to shoot in RAW and never thought of post processing. I'll try and post them somewhere.

I am fortunate enough to live and work quiet close to the airfield in Farnborough. You would not believe the view I have of the air strip :p. These planes start practising a couple of weeks before the public opening for the air show and includes 5 days of displays for trade members. I have already seen a team of spitfires practice a few weeks back. There was also a team of aerial acrobatic team in blue planes which were out. They were also there in 2008. I am not sure of their name though.

I was there when the F22 was first unveiled in the airshow and have pictures of the first time. However for me, the most impressive exhibit was the A 380. The tight turns it made inspite of its incredible size was truly amazing. Also, the Sarang helicopter acrobatic team, though slightly slow when compared to the other displays was special for me.

So as you can imagine, I don't get any work done in those 2 weeks. I'll get some pics of the JF 17 both in the air and on the ground.

They should be up in the air for at least 7 days. 5 days for trade members and 2 days for public viewing. Most of the planes including the F22 were displayed on all 7 days.
