Vivid and Entertaining

FRC3 is the latest effort by Erik Hildebrandt, those of you familiar with Mr.Hildebrandt's work will know what to expect. For newcomers welcome to an oppurtunity to see an airshow while seated in your favorite chair. I've been to numerous airshows across the country, even to some of those pictured in this wonderful book. But I have to say that looking at this book puts the airshow experience in a new perspective. I wish that I could take pictures as breathtaking and as vivid as the ones contained in this work. The text that accompanies the pictures is as vivid and real as anything that I have obsevered at a actual airshow. Maybe more so! If you are an airshow nut like myself you will appreciate this work of art. Airshow regulars like Michael Goulian, Patty Wagstaff, and others are featured. Special attention is given to the United States Navy Air Demonstration Team, The Blue Angels, who are celebrating their 60th anniversary. This a very entertaining book by a wonderful aviation photographer. Well worth the investment and time to take a look at. While reading this book you will ask yourself two questions, how do the pilots do that? and how did Mr. Hildebrandt get that shot?

Gorgeous, unusual, inforamtive, engaging study.

An excellent, unusual and informative title, Erik Hildebrandt's Front Row Center covers American air shows and aviation history, providing a lavish coffee-table style book which includes bright color photos of the planes in action. A gorgeous, involving study tracing a popular sport.

The best of aerobatics brought into your front room!

Eric brings the euthusiam of air shows and aerobatics with his spectacular vivid photography right into your living room! This is truly one of a kind book! Hats off to you, Eric!

If you like aviation, you'll love this book!

The images in this book are one-of-a-kind! It's like being in the aircraft with Erik. As a aviation-junkie, this book is on my top list.

Unbelievable photography!

This is a great book for anyone's coffee table; whether you love aviation or not. The photos are absolutely beautiful. It's amazing that Erik Hildebrandt can snap such a perfect aerial shot every time. I definitely recommend this book.
