I managed to burn through my 128GB CFExpress card in the first half of
the show which was a bummer, but because of it I watched the last half
without worrying about taking pictures, which was nice.

Very cool. I saw them myself a few weeks back at Huntington Beach. Some friends of mine live about a mile from the beach so a group of us met at their place and walked down to see the airshow. I made the conscious decision to leave my camera gear in the car so that I would concentrate on socializing with friends rather than doing photography. Also sand. And not wanting to spend something like six hours with a heavy camera or two hanging off my neck.

Off topic because it wasn't shot on Pentax.

Yesterday the RCAF Snowbirds put on their final show with the CT-117 jets they have been flying since 1971. Since it was a mere 1 hour drive for me I decided to load up and see what there was to see.

This was the first time I have seen them doing more than a flyby, I had never seen their full 45 minute performance before. It was awesome.

Fuji X-H2s & Fuji 150mm-600mm.
