    Nice pics Andreas. I was working in the city today and saw (and heard!) some of the practice - pretty impressive.

    Andreas,

    Nice shots but you might want to check your sensor as I see several dust spots on them.

    I'm starting to think you're a very poor fotographer but a wizard with Photoshop.
    :)

    Thanks! You know your technology dude!

    Awesome pics! They were up here in Milwaukee a few weeks ago and were practicing over my building all day on the Friday before the show, really awesome.

    I loved how people would hear them and rush to the windows and I was like, "um, guys, by the time you hear them, they're gone!".

    Thanks! I got some nice ones on Sunday after the rain cleared. Lots of Jets literally using our high rise as their turning point.

    Great pics by all. What kind of lens were you using for these ones?

    Thanks, same lens as for the previous shots: The BigMa (Sigma 50-500 mm)

    The difference is that the pics from Sunday were taken from my balcony where you can almost touch the planes zooming by.

    Is there an air show in Chicago today? A B-29 passed over my house 4 times this afternoon.
