Red Cathedral

As you might know: Sanicole 2022 was the first event I shot some airshow stills and it was while working at the Sony booth. Actually it was good fun, not só very different from the fast cars I shot over 15 years ago.. and the cameras have advanced quite a bit since then. Since the airshows in Limburg (BE) alternate between the airbases of Sanicole & Kleine-Brogel, this year we were invited to the military airbase of Kleine-Brogel with a booth during the Belgian Airforce Days. . .

One can only be dazzled by both the pilot's skills and by the skills of everyone designing & building such machines.. both old ones and new ones. Yes, that F-35 will tear your eardrums to pieces if it wants to, but you have to admire the sudden moves it can make in the air while being such a big chunk of metal. The event was completely so...
