Best Seats In The House! by Skorobeus on Zooomr
Went to the "Wheels & Warbirds" Air and Car show in Millville, NJ on Sunday with my dad and a friend of his. All in all, we had a good time, though the management of the event left much to be desired...
We showed up around 10:30am, and parked our car in the NJ Motorsports Park as directed by the signs. We walked around the classic cars for a few minutes, and made our way to the shuttle buses that we were told would carry us to the airport side of the complex (there was no way to walk there due to the race tracks) so that we could view the "static line" of airplanes. This was what I was primarily looking forward to, an opportunity to see the warbirds up close and personal.
As we approached the line for the buses, they began pulling up and people filed out of them. Unfortunately we were told at that point that the buses would not be returning to the airport, and that the static line was closed down as the airshow would be starting soon (It was scheduled to begin at 12 noon)... After much cursing and complaining, the line dispersed and we all found seats for the airshow.
The rest of the event was enjoyable, I got some great pictures of the birds in flight, despite trying to hand-hold a 70-200 L lens. I'd probably do it again, but show up much earlier!
