2009 Quonset Point Airshow Photos

Those of you that are close by should really make an effort to attend this airshow next year. It had some of the best displays I've ever seen and traffic/parking was well managed.

Definitely NOT Cayman friendly parking as the bumpy grass field will play havoc with the undercarriage.

A very long drive up to Rhode Island on I-95 and I only got two hits on the Ka band of the V1 for the entire 390 mile round trip. Very weird, only saw 1 state trooper the entire day.

I only saw 3 other Porsches on the road. A Meteor Gray 997 C2s cab driving nice and easy. I almost gave the owner a wave until I realized what car I was driving.

Another gray 997 C4s that would give all P-car owners a bad rep by weaving all over the place to get around cars and at very high speed. And finally an older red 911 (mid-'80's?) that managed to cut me off while I was on the right lane(!) of a 3-lane section in order to pass the car in the middle lane.

Anyhow, I'll be adding photos for the next few days. I took over 1600(!). Nothing pushes the limits of your camera gear (and stamina) like an airshow.

Hopefully some of you aviation buffs will get a kick out of them.
