IAS 2008 short report

Last Sunday I visited the biggest airshow that has ever happened in Slovenia. My friend Oki Blatnik is a pilot, so he got free tickets but unfortunately we did not have privilege to enter area after safety fance (mainly because my accreditation (as official photographer for www.enpuls.com was canceled).
Anyway, I manage to take some quite nice photos of airplanes in action although my working angle was reduced to just about 30° (I has airplane "exhibition" in front of my standing position), so I often caught parts of other planes (on the ground) on the pictures.
Pilots of acrobatic airplanes have unbelievable skills and they are also very brave to fly few meters above ground with velocity which is often higher than 150 km/h (while performing air stunts!).
If you will have opportunity to see something like that, don't hesitate.
Here are some pictures, I have lots more on stock but no time to get them ready for publish :S

Pilots on solid ground are surrounded with lovely girls :)


angry with myself because I cut her hand :(
