~ 2008 Kingsley Air Force Base Air Show ~

The Air Show started off with a bang this year. Hot temperatures, clear blue skies and lots of planes.

Photographed the Thunderbirds on Thursday with a Media Pass as they were just flying in. Got some shots of the crew and pilots as they readied their planes for the show on Saturday.

I got a special escort with the base photographer from Kingsley AFB on Friday to shoot the pre-show, and meet the Thunderbird pilots and crew.

The entire Thunderbird crew and staff where more than friendly and courteous. There are about 70 members that make up the crew of the Thunderbirds, definitely a class act.
