How fast is your camera, because that looks like the same photo five times in a row.

I was stationed in Pensacola and had a chance to talk to one of the pilots.

He said the scariest maneuver was passing another plane while flying inverted. You had to fight your instincts for up, own, port starboard.

Went to the show last summer and parked the boat in Pensacola bay. Was unreal being that close. It’s wild how agile those planes are and feeling the jets shake everything was so fun. Could’ve watched them all day.

I have a low end mirroless dslr(sony a6000) and it'll make sweet Gifs out of like a 30 shot burst. I'm pretty sure all the smart phone camera apps can do this now. See if you can't do it if photos are loaded to your phone. It's a fun feature for when the kids are doing silly shite or something like this.
