)

Maybe for static display the weather will have an impact in the flying display tomorrow

By the looks of the current WX situation it ain't goin to be as bad as first forecast.

Only going Saturday myself (can't hitch a ride seen as there's only 2 seats in what we're sending

)

Trying to figure out a plan of action. A quick run down the static during a parachute display or something?
Have to get that B2

What camera is it? Basically if your after sharp pictures of jets flying and no arty motion blur you need a high shutter speed. I use Aperture Prority on my Nikon (AV on Canon) and leave it wide open to start with(the smallest f stop number). A shutter speed of 1/800 and above should suffice.
This is a good starting point for sharp images. (providing you've enough light to produce a high shutter speed for your given ISO which can be adjusted also)
For props and helis you need to slow your shutter speed down to at least 1/200th of a second so use Shutter Prority (TV on Canon) and a steady hand

(Mods: remove if this is too off topic

)

There was nothing from the air corps last year, Joey, sadly, so hoping they may send a CASA this year.

Doubt it very much

Irish Air Corps / Re: (IAC) Fight suit patches

« on: June 15, 2012, 05:00:08 pm »

Flight/Sgt Perkins is who you should be looking for not Jenkins.

Aircrews are only issued with the Air Corps roundel and now the new Unit Flashes.
All other patches; wings,Sqn patches, aircraft types and cadet classes, are paid for by the individual's themselves and are a limited run. So I doubt very much that anybody would have a 'spare' set.

People obtain patches at airshows by trading with crews and these are usually fellow aircrew.
F/Sgt perkins may have a stall at the Bray Airshow as he has done before.

Phew that was close! It's on the 19th!

I'm going to the Mach Loop on the 20th so hopefully all Sqns back to normal that week.
Thought I was going to have another failed trip; Volcano's (twice), grounded aircraft fleets, national festival avoids, crop spraying and of course the backlash of the "I'm with stupid" photo.
Maybe this will be a Carlsberg trip

I suppose it will be either way
