So, we know it’s been a little while since the Indy Airshow Photo Contest ended, but our judge Jim Koepnick has finally had a few moments to put his reasons behind his choices into words, so, without further ado, here are the winners, and why Jim decided they were:
Civilian
1st Place: Mark Judd
Hey. Those F-18 are pretty fast!

Today’s the first day for the 14th Annual Indianapolis Air Show. That means only two days until the Roberts Indy Air Show Experience (tickets still available, btw).
And, don’t forget that we’ve partnered with IAS this year to run their annual photo contest. We’ll keep the link for where to go upload those big and up-top here on the blog as long as submissions are open (through the 30th).
You can upload up to three pictures, one in each of three categories: Civilian, Military, and The Air Show Experience. You can also up- or down-vote other submitted photos. In addition to the juried contest (judged this year by Jim Koepnik), the crowd-favorite will also win a prize.
So, don’t forget to join us Sunday for the Experience, and if you can’t make that, at least get out there today or tomorrow and get some good shots in, yeah? Check out the prizes afer the jump if you need more reason to enter.
Just in case you haven’t gotten your tickets to the Roberts Indy Airshow Experience yet,and are wandering what it’s like, why not look at some photos submitted from last year’s?

It’s close to that time of the year again, oh ye fans of aviation! This Sunday, the 13th of June, in the year 2010, shall be the glorious return of the Roberts’ Indy Airshow Experience! Planes, thrills, and exotic lenses await those seeking adventure, those with the spirit of freedom flowing under their wings.
Come ye with soaring hearts, come to Indianapolis (well, Mt Comfort, anyway.) Come try equipment from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Manfrotto, and Gitzo. Come meet fellow adventurers in this arena called life. Come eat our food.
And, lest we forget, come see the 14th Annual Indianapolis Air Show! Be wowed by The Horsemen and their P-51 Mustang aerobatic show. Be amazed by the VFA-122 Super Hornet Demonstration Squad. Revel in the antics of Michael Goulian. Stroll down history lane with the many grounded planes, bombers, and helicopters.
