I took a two-lens kit to the airport on a very hot day today. The camera 
was a micro-4/3 Oly E-M1 and the lenses were the 50/2.0 Macro and the 
50-200 SWD, along with my monopod.

The first two images were made with the 50/2.0.? First is a Canadian 
manufactured T-33 airshow performer painted to appeal to Republicans.

Second is today's jumper-hauler, for smaller crowds, a Pacific Aerospace 
Ltd. 750XL from New Zealand.? It was also shot with the 50/2.0.

I then switched to the 50-200 with monopod and caught a tandem pair as 
they descended.

And finally, the retrieval truck, as it started back to the hangar to 
repack the parachutes.
