Air Show - A View from the Tower

Saturday morning brought sunny skies for the official start of the show. Having seen most of the action at the beach, I opted for my usual Saturday location at the American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport. The museum hosts many of the air show participants, and affords an up-close view as they prepare for the beach.

The fine folks at the Airpower Museum have permitted a select few photographers to shoot the operations from the old airport control tower, now part of the museum.
