I was the 1st one in THUR & FRI so that someone must have been me, not into trespassing but there was quite a gap between the ones towards the end, figured the worse that could happen is get tossed out.
A guy who lives and works around there told me that the barricades have been up for a while due to the nearby construction at Kalitta, don't know if thats the case or not but yeah, no access at all on show days, and easy to see why once the flying starts. Was spooked by the lack of fly-ins on both days, that set the stage for what was to come [or not to come].

Here are the other ones, although there was some dust on my lense that I couldn't get off. My lense cleaner just isn't doing it :( Does anyone have any recommendations for a good lense cleaner?

Dust on the lens doesn't really show up unless it is huge. The dust is likely on the sensor or at least the inside end of the lens. Cleaning the sensor is a bit tricky so research it before attempting anything :)

On July 29th, United States Tailhook Legacy Flight Foundation did a flyover right before Top Gun: Maverick played on the big screen at the EAA Fly-In Theater.

Good day! If any of you were shooting Blue Angels practice activity on Friday before show (7/15) off of Tyler Rd, and have photos or video of Fat Albert taxiing with the ramp down and 2 people on it, please reach out to me.

Thanks!

You've got until tomorrow to fill out the show survey sent to ticket buyers. Let them know what you would like to see in the future for the show. The first question is whether to keep the drive-in format or not.
