I'd love to be able to afford birding, but that's way too rich for my blood. Awesome pics.

you don't have to go all out. Alternative choice: Sigma 50-500 for less than $700.

wow those are FANTASTIC shots of those birds and aircraft!

How did you get that pic of the weapons bay of the F22? Must have been flying by petty quick!

I really like the shot of the harrier with the hot air hazing around it. Awesome...

it is an air show so they don't fly that super fast as they normaly do. You have a few seconds to track and shot.
