While I was out doing some field photography today I just happened to be passing Mexico, MO at a convenient time.

This was a long zoom away but I think the contrast is pretty cool.

I’m not sure what plane this is or who is flying it but this is the low spot in his dive just before going vertical for a complete loop.

It was his last one for the show. I watched several and was getting very impatient with a truck in front of me on the highway that was doing about 20 miles an hour under the speed limit. When you see a photo opportunity you want to take advantage of it!

This was one of the planes performing in the Mexico Missouri Air Show put on by the Elks Club.

It’s the second annual and I guess they do it to show their appreciation for the military.

It looked like a lot of people were there and since it was only about 93 degrees out we had a relatively cool day for it.

The show is sponsored by the Zenith Aircraft Company.
