Amazing stuff! So many iconic aircraft up close. In a million years I would never have thought it possible to ever get the opportunity to walk aboard the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft!

Great pics Karl - looks like an awesome airshow. Wish some of those aircraft, especially the more exotic ones, were able to turn up to Avalon.

Not in a million years will we see these aircraft in Avalon! Even if they did, we would not even get near them!

Great to see someone else on here who went to the Edwards AFB Test Nation!!

I live about 4hrs from Mojave, but when I found out about this airshow, I just had to go to see all these amazing aircraft! So I made my way down there and had a great day out!

Here are some of my shots from the day.

The photos aren't that great because I largest telephoto lens is only a 18-200mm f4-6.3 ...so it definitely was a challenge getting some of these shots, but it was great fun nonetheless!

This airshow is definitely something special..such amazing aircraft in one place, on one day, flying side by side.

Definitely a photographic target rich environment - I really enjoyed your photographs of current and historic aircraft. Great work.
