I think your shots are excellent. I'm kind of wondering what you think could
have been better with respect to the film you used. Do you mean just the
formation shots or all of them. I would be thrilled with the results you
got.

The formation passed us very fast. We received no traffic alert
of any kind from the approach, or was it Meigs Tower already?

I had not time to change the lens and I shot nervously as good
I could, but they are blurred anyway.

I picked up the E200 for this shooting because this was a
brand new material back than, hailed by the press as the
"finest of ISO 200" so far. The weather was hazy, we moved
fast in the Bonanza and I opted for ISO 200 over a ISO 100
material to have more latitude toward shorter shutter times.
I ruled out ISO 400... because fo the obviously larger grain.

How wrong I was: The E200 proves to be enormously difficult
to scan with its grain aliasing effect on my scanner (Nikon
LS4000) and I really dislike the color balance of this material.
I wish I would have taken Provia 400F!

Later the E200 was criticized by many photographers for a
plethora of reasons, its beyond the scope here. Once more, the
introduction in the photo press was a simple marketing stunt...

And who on final approach encounters 4 aircraft flying in
formation just below you! I just wish the images were of better
technical standard! Kodak's Ektachrome E200 Professional proven
to be such a disappointment to me.

There is, or rather: There was only only Meigs, probably the
most unique airport in the US, if not in the entire world!!

I hope you will like the images:
