I posted "the best" of my TI rally pictures.

<http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showgallery.php?cat=5921>

They are fairly much by the day they where taken. I DO need to take more pictures of the people....

There was some interesting things that we did see on the high speed aircraft... I did not get any pictures but someone did:

<http://sfist.com/2011/10/10/photos_fleet_week_air_show_2011.php#photo-1>

Note that this can happen during some subsonic maneuvers... and it did on both Saturday and Sunday. (Follow the links from the above page if you want to know more.)

While on the lawn, there where people interested in the GMCs on both days. (A bit more on Sunday.) We gave out brochures that JimK printed. These where a "generic" version of the brochures created by Byron Songer and posted on the GMCES website:

<http://www.gmceast.com/lifestyle/gmcers/>

I think all GMC'ers should carry some. It might help the public interest in GMC motorhome.

The only sad thing was that the Blue Angels had to cancel the Sunday show. The fog rolled in over the Golden Gate Bridge at the wrong time.

Overall a good time was had by all.

Mike,

You really did nail that 747 picture! I would have had to take a thousand pictures to get that many great ones. Good job!

Mike,

That is about what I do! (I think I took over 500.) Digital pictures are CHEAP!

Thanks for your comments.

Was that your coach on the end?

As someone came in just after me, I do not think I was ever really "on the end" of any line of coaches.

The coach I had at this rally was my #2 coach (1978 rear bath Birch) seen in the foreground of this picture:
<http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=41092>

I was second from the end when I parked on the grass.

Nick's blue 23 foot was next to me in both spots.

Great photos. When I look at the shots across to Embarcadero it makes me
want to get there next year even more.

Glad you guys handed out some of the brochures. That's what they are for.
