Any idea if it will be the same this year?
Yes we will be having Practice Friday Afternoon with the Hour (or 3) of Power Friday evening. Show is shaping up look for more great announcements.

Mike


Thanks!


Also, any idea what is up with the Nikon rentals?


Is it free or a paid rental?

The Nikon presence in the photopit is rather intriguing. I have been shooting Canon since 1995ish. Canon has, by and large, served me well but... I have never had any real ability to 'audition' anything else at an airshow.

Airshows have always posed the biggest challenge to me/my gear (And I have spent good money after bad seeking the right Canon solution... that is a thread unto itself ) so I would really like to get a chance to sample the D500 (The Nikon 7DII equivalent), 80-400 and 200-500 to see if the grass is indeed greener.
