Finding a Spot to Catch Part of the Air Show

 I ended up taking my mom to look for sunflower farms but it is a little early to see any.  But I found a couple farms and they are pretty easy to get to, so I think I will check them out later.  After doing that  I ended up stopping at the former K-Mart parking lot across the freeway from Willow Run.  I wanted to catch the last act of the air show.

I did end up catching it but they didn't use the heritage plane for it.  I was kind of hoping to see that plane again.  This lot is close but not close enough.
Fortunately, I have pretty decent zoom and pretty decent resolution.  This is the plane turning over for a manuever.
I think this was during the high speed run.
The plane turning around to go back to the airfield.
I kind of like this shot.
Another shot as it was turning.
I kind of like this shot too.
One more as it was sort of doing a pass.  I couldn't get the right angle because of the poles that were in the way.

It wasn't a bad spot and works a little better when there are acts like the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds because they use more of the space.  But it was still kind of nice.
