Hey, I think i saw Gordon (wasn't sure but my friends were moving fast and i had to keep up... the only other person i saw with a 70-200mm L lens and looks kind of like you on 1st street bridge) -- should've taken a few snapshots and enter it into the multi-image challenge :) "Gordon the Photog Examined"
Here's a shot -- i couldn't get close to the stadium and my 70-200mm lens is too short, but here's an interesting one... this guy is part of the Flying Milkcows and i think he got hurt hitting his head on the platform:
He jumped off but his design didn't go with him.... i think he's OK though but hte program did pause for about 15 minutes after that.
I got a shot of it as well. It was pretty funny watching a bunch of idiots jump into Townlake, it's the surest way to get a stomach infection drinking that water...
Good luck dude... just don't drink the water. I find it interesting that they wouldn't allow you to eat the fish you caught from the lake, but you are allowed to swim in it!!

They make a big deal about the water purity (as long as there hasn't been a storm recently - in fact there were plans to build a swimming area at auditorium shores)
Uncropped, straight from the camera, just resized (and not very good)
It's not bad... I guess even a 300 mm lens wouldn't be close enough to only contain the aircraft. Probably need 600 mm.
It might be cheaper if you learn how to sweet-talk your way into front row seats. Btw, that guy in the white t-shirt in the center front, abt 2nd or 3rd row, he looks huge. This is entirely irrelevant but i just thought i toss that out since that's all my eyes focus on now.
