This is an event for long lenses, you can see the vantage point where I am shooting from. Check the distance between the camera and the airplanes across the bay or all the way up to Petco park.
I have cropped all the pictures for level and background aesthetics. There are pictures that appear twice, "wide" crop and tight crop.
My first upload is very comprehensive and, as time permits, I will thin it out, but as a slide-show you can sit behind the computer or better yet TV and just let it scroll by. Sorry this program does not have sound in the background.

7 The pylons are inflated with powerful gas engine blowers. When hit by a plane the deflate, the damaged segment re-attached and they are back up in a few minutes.
