September 27th, 2009 - Field Trip: Flying Circus and Hot Air Balloon Rally

Flying Circus and Hot Air Balloon Rally

Bealeton, VA

www.flyingcircusairshow.com

Barnstorming air shows are alive and well in Bealeton, VA. And our first field trip of the year will take us, not only to an air show, but a hot air balloon rally as well.

If you have never been to the Flying Circus, you will be surprised at how close the airplanes are. A 200mm or 300mm lens, perhaps with a teleconverter, will often allow you to fill the viewfinder. Bring your tripod for ground shots, but be ready to pan with the action when the planes are in flight. And don't forget wide angle lenses for the ground shots of planes and balloons as well.

The gates open at 11:00 a.m. and the show starts at 2:30 p.m. (I am trying to get us in earlier so we have better light. Will keep you updated on my progress.) The cost is $10 per person. We will carpool from Dunn Loring. The time we leave will be determined by when we can get into the grounds. There will be a sign-up sheet at the meeting.

Directions: I-66 west and exit on Route 29 south at Gainesville. Turn left onto US-17 S/Marsh Rd. Turn Left onto Ritchie Rd. It should take about 1.25 hours.
