The Great Texas Airshow @ JBSA-Randolph

04 May, 2026

I took my dad to the Great Texas Airshow at JBSA-Randolph this past weekend, bringing along my camera gear to see how I'd do capturing photos closer to the action (in past years, I've snapped photos from the yard with some success).

We managed to get right up to the main taxiway and camped out there for a few hours, the camping chairs came in clutch as did ear protection (though the tripod could've stayed in the car and I definitely should've put on some sunscreen).

In any case, check out the slideshow below for my highlights!

Photos from this gallery were all taken with my Fujifilm X-T5 and Tamron 18-300mm (edited using DxO PhotoLab 9), the full album can be found here.
