Two T-6 Texans after takeoff at the Dubuque Regional Airport
The engine noise of T-6 Texans, P-51 Mustangs, and other historical planes filled the air during the last few days and reminded us that the world’s biggest air show starts next week in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. A number of these aircrafts come every year to the Dubuque Regional Airport to train prior to the show. I tried my luck and went out to the observation deck at the airport this evening. At the end I had really just one good opportunity to bring a few Texans into the viewfinder of the camera and it was only this shot, with some great clouds in the background, that I liked. My panning technique is not up to par and the keeper rate was accordingly low. Maybe I should go back tomorrow if it is not too hazy…?
