The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will headline the 75th Anniversary Eglin Air Force Base Air Show will be held on the installation Apr. 10-11, 2010. Gates open at exactly 9 a.m. Any early air show arrivals will be asked to wait or vectored away to ensure traffic flow continues. Gates will close to incoming air show arrivals at 3 p.m. (30 minutes prior to the Thunderbirds show.)
A variety of aerial performers, static displays, and vendors will be presented. Links to acts, maps, schedules, etc. will appear below upon availability. Some of the WAPC members are going to meet on Saturday, April 10 at 7:45am at Panera Bread for breakfast. Panera Bread is in front of the Santa Rosa Mall at 350 Mary Ester Blvd. About 8:45am we can all drive to the Eglin AFB for the Air Show and the main event at 3:30 featuring the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Who’s going?
We have a great field trip planned for majestic and historic Fort Pickens within the Gulf Islands National Seashore on Saturday, March 20. The Chief Ranger for the National Park will open the gate for our club members to Fort Pickens at 7:15am (regular opening time is 9:00am). We will gather in the parking lot from 7:15am to 7:30am and then proceed to shooting some great photos of Fort Pickens. Some of us plan to shoot the sunrise at the Pensacola Beach Fishing Pier prior to the Fort Pickens shoot. Sunrise is at 6:51am – you should be set up for the before sunrise glow 15 minutes to 30 minutes prior to sunrise. I’m forecasting great weather and great photos for the Fort Pickens field trip. Don’t forget to bring your camera tripod and plenty of memory cards.
For some of you that have not been to Fort Pickens before, and want to know what type of scenes you can expect go to WAPC member Harry Purcell’s online photo gallery at http://hjpurcell.smugmug.com/Other/Ft-Pickens/11477472_EuvdV#809393007_TPb2c
