Nikon F3, 105mm f1.8 Nikkor, Ektachrome

Okay, so it's just about my favorite airplane, right up there with the F-4U Corsair. Nikon FA, 200mm Nikkor, Ektachrome

The Concorde buzzes the field. This one's a British Airways plane. Nikon F3, 500mm Reflex Nikkor, Ektachrome

Here's the Concorde at a couple thousand feet. Note that the nose is now raised for high-speed flight -- though it didn't fly supersonic at the show due to federal noise regulations. Nikon F3, 500mm Reflex Nikkor, Ektachrome

The plane in front is a Lockheed P-38. This is the kind of plane that the writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery took off in in 1944, never to be seen again. (It was probably too much airplane for him, actually.) The second plane is the legendary North American P-51. Nikon FA, 200mm Nikkor, Ektachrome

A Supermarine Spitfire -- this one a rare two-seater built for training -- makes a low pass down the Oshkosh runway. Nikon F3, 500mm Reflex Nikkor, Ektachrome

The Wagners performing their aerobatic wingwalking act. Nikon F3, 200mm Nikkor, Ektachrome

Airshow favorites, Bob and Pat Wagner pose next to their biplane. They don't look like daredevils, do they? Well, they are. Nikon F3, 85mm f2 Nikkor, Ektachrome

Another picture of Bob Hoover, just because he's Bob Hoover. Nikon FA, 200mm Nikkor, Ektachrome

Those who know flying will recognize him by his hat. Bob Hoover is a legend in test flight and airshow work. For decades, he attended airshows and did, simply, the impossible. Nikon FA, 200mm Nikkor, Ektachrome
