Wonder what their insurance costs?
Yet another great shot curly.

J.R. from Ginowan, Japan

Do they pray before they do that? I'm not sure God would say "Test Me" like that. Really a great capture

Superb aerial pictures but after those two deadly accidents here in USA (Reno and West Virginia) it makes me nervous.

how embarrassing, though, to show up to the show in the same outfit . . .

Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada

Beautifully composed shot Curly! They are far braver than I to attempt something like that! Nicely captured! ;-)

Sam from Chennai, India

Wow. Superb capture and nice title. Brave men. Great. :)

Ted from South Wales, United Kingdom

It's easy to see why these get so many bookings around the country...noisy, colourful, acrobatic and very exciting. They put a smile on peoples faces as did this one fella...good, no brilliant capture!

24 Sep 2011 7:52pm

DULCIE from Danville, CA, United States

Wonderful light and color...a bit scary. The recent airshow in Reno, Nevada, USA, ended in flames when one of the planes plummeted into the viewing stands. :-(
Other than that, these shows are so entertaining and thrilling !!

Wonderful capture and daring stunts for the wing walkers!

Yonatan from New York, United States

Superb capture. I like to think of myself as adventurous, but I think these wing walkers can rest assured that I'm not as adventurous as them!

Elaine Hancock from Rockville, United States

Wonderful color! I don't think I would like to be doing that. Great capture!

A prayer? I think they are streaming prayers. Another great image from this event!

Laurie from Prescott, United States

Wonderful capture, Curly! These look very much like the plains that flew over our Arizona Centennial last weekend! You must have been in a plane yourself to capture this. Beautiful.
