From Saturday's air show in Modesto. Didn't take too many photos as I was juggling a 1 year old and trying to keep tabs on a 3 yr old. Here are a few.
  
I had already put my camera away and was preparing to leave the show while the third stunt pilot made his final pass and performed a series of barrel rolls just over the runway(20-30' maybe)??? As he started to pull out at the end of the runway, he dipped down, caught a wing tip and spun into the apron in a cloud of dust and airplane parts. The pilot was mediflighted to a local hospital with broken ankles and listed in serious condition. Thankfully he wasn't killed. It was beyond surreal. Here is a shot of the crash site. I was less than 300 yards from where he landed.
