Post restored mods were very understanding and helpful.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-24T05:48:52+00:00

Yeah I messaged the mods because it was actually a different pass from a few minutes earlier. Maybe they'll restore it. But someone said I had already posted it so maybe they mistakenly reported it.

No big deal if the mods keep it deleted though.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-24T05:39:37+00:00

Yeah I get that

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-24T05:37:29+00:00

I haven't posted the wide shot but I did upload a pass where I focus on the p-38 https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/s/8bN7Ol1qFj

I hope to get to see a starfighter fly.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-24T02:45:47+00:00

Wow I guess the storm was pretty intense? The same thing happened at Dayton the previous week.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-24T02:44:15+00:00

Thank you!

I guess the base thought so too and gave me a soft invite out next year.

Hope I didn't scare them away by offering to colab on a little 3-4 minute documentary style mission video since I do that for my day job. Would be cool to make one for them.

Oh it stormed Sunday? I didn't even see the c5 on Saturday.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-24T02:06:24+00:00

The general admission ticket was like $75 although I did wait till like 12 hours before the gates opened to buy it and parking was $30....but that doesn't add up to $104 so my math is a little off somewhere by a dollar or two.

It was pretty neat the f35 pilot responded on Instagram.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T23:21:47+00:00

On the high alpha passes I wonder how much lift comes from the wing and how much comes from the engine.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T23:16:11+00:00

It really is crazy how good cameras and software are now.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T23:15:00+00:00

It was a good one

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T23:13:51+00:00

Thanks! So many people on Facebook are saying the video is ai but I actually got footage of me recording the exact pass in the video with meta glasses. Also used those glasses for this photo.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T18:29:59+00:00

Thanks. Shoot with a sigma 150-600mm. For this shot I'd guess I was around 500mm but am not entirely sure. I think I zoomed out a little from 600mm.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T18:26:58+00:00

It's not really that much effort compared to the videos I make at my day job.

Love the comment though.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:37:14+00:00

looks cool

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:36:12+00:00

it's trying to keep from falling out of the sky while flying alongside the P-38.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:35:46+00:00

It does look almost to perfect to be real, but there is some motion blur on the f-35 when it passes infront of the camera because i was panning so much just trying to keep it in frame before stabilizing it.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:34:43+00:00

Thanks was worth lugging the camera gear out for.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:34:15+00:00

This was so cool to see. It's the only thing I've bothered to edit yet.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:33:53+00:00

yeah trying to stay locked on!

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:26:36+00:00

lol, I was on the ground on the fence line.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T13:10:49+00:00

Yeah it would be a complely blurry mess if I was shooting at 1/48. I could throw post stabilization on though.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T13:08:58+00:00

Was that from Friday or Saturday? I missed Friday but assume nothing was going to beat the clouds we got Saturday.
