My family and I spent the afternoon at the Wetaskiwin Air Show.  The
featured attraction was the Canadian Snowbirds, the military aerobatics
team.
The planes performed about 50 maneuvers, and I actually was able to catch

This has been done before but it's always fun to start it up again. I'd
like to limit this to film cameras, not to dump on digital, but because
they haven't been around long enough to establish the kind of tract
record this topic deserves. And I'd like to vote for my own favorite ...

I'm going to Frankfurt in Germany. Anyone knows where to get
photomaterials in good prices? Especially 135 and 120 black & white
