Rob a bank and go for the Sigma 50~500 "Bigma" super zoom. I love
mine and get very good results; the zoom range makes it useful for
almost any airshow situation beyond closely packed static displays.
Hefty *******, though - you'll need a strong arm...

Interesting. My brother recommended staying away from Sigma lenses due
to inconsistent quality. He's well known in the family for having a
distinct taste for quality stuff. I've been looking at lenses on Dyxum,
a great resource for Sony and Minolta users btw. I'll see what's posted
on that lens and maybe start looking for one. I know you are taking and
posting great shots, so says something for the lens.
Probably going to go with a Beercan next, but I've always had a
hankering for honking big lenes...

Thanks,
