Can't wait to give it a try at the air show this weekend. They are having a reunion of the Black Sheep Squadron this year, the surviving pilots and some of the cast of the TV show Baa Baa Black Sheep, including Larry Manetti (more famous for playing Rick on Magnum PI).
I might give the new lens an indoor try at the mall of America this afternoon, they will be at a flight simulator and signing autographs.
I love the lens!

Nice! Enjoy the lens and make sure to post the air show shots, they are a favorite of mine. And the F4U Corsair that the Black Sheep flew are my 3rd favorite plane to boot (behind the SR71 and the F14, in case the suspense was killing you http://www.digitalgrin.com/images/smilies/icon10.gif ), that should be a cool show!

Hey, wasn't Minetti the short guy with the inferiority complex? http://www.digitalgrin.com/images/smilies/lol8.gif
