Nice shots! I like the first two. What kind of lens did you use?

I shot this footage from a practice flight, one day before the airshow. We were standing outside the airbase, so we could see the jets from a very different angle than we were used to.
Since the runway is too narrow, they always took off in singles.
Make sure to watch in HD!

Very neat Sawamura!
I can honestly say that I've never seen the HBB (@ 4:40) from that perspective. Oh, and the final approaches rival those from St. Maarten.
