Lady D.

Nine birds in close formation.

Every April the Canadian Forces Snowbirds come to Vancouver Island for their spring training and to prepare for their show season. This year was no exception but because of time constraints and extremely poor weather I was not able to spend an enjoyable afternoon getting a free show. So I am posting an image I took last year when the weather was glorious and the flight team put on a great show. Please don't ask me where I was when I took this image, all I can say is being eye to eye with nine fast machines flying this close gets the pulse up.

Cool! I did find it odd that they are numbered 2 through 10 however.

I took 200+ pics of the Red Arrows (UK) doing similar stuff, and deleted the whole lot, so i know how difficult shots like this are.
Excellent, well done Jess.
