ROTFLMAO… the show’s WAY to small for those bad boys to show up; gotta go to a large show like Edwards, or Oceania to see them guys. Best we could’ve hoped for would be a fly-by and they didn’t do that either.
I tried to get to the show, but gave up after circling the airport for an hour and not finding any place to park where I didn’t have to walk 2-3 miles to get in.
very nice! what kind of camera do you have… i need a new one bad 
Here’s my take on the airshow today… It made me realize how much I want a new camera haha
Let me know whatcha thinks
It was fun today… I hadn’t been to an airshow since I was probably 12 with my cousin and my uncle, so this brought me back ten years. I’m so beat from the sun, but it was definitely a cool thing to go out and see.
fucking awesome
Great pics…
We were watching it from the Summit Mall Mustang show yesterday. Looked like a great show.
I thought they might have done a flyby. I went to a smaller airshow like 4 years ago in niagara falls and they had a b-2 stealth bomber flyby.

same airshow… last time they had it here they had the flyby
:tup:
thanks for the comments.
The airshow was a great time, minus the death march back to the car. I got dizzy and my vision blured, it was kinda cool…

Nice pics, I think Lafengas paid a bunch o cash to go for a ride in an f16, or so i hear :gotme: that would be wicked

Nice…yeah I figured the lens was a powerful telefoto…VR assisted probably…Wicked pics…:tup:
AWESOME pics, guys thanks! :gracias:
Didn’t get a chance to go this year (I’m an airshow junkie) but I AM doing the Wright Patterson AFB jobber this year.
That F-18 rolled HARD off the deck in that one shot, shit…
i realized going to this that i really picked the wrong career to get into.
i wanted so bad to be a pilot when i was a kid. also, you dont realize when you are a kid the physics involved in what they get these planes to do. last time i went to this show was when i was a kid, and i can say i appreciate it 100x more. watching the f-16’s resulted in me having 20 solid minutes of goosebumps. nothing but goosebumps.

Yea I remember that. I live 2 seconds from the airshow. I saw everything fly by over my house, very exciting and loud. I was using binoculars and also found my neighbor 2 houses down smoking a bong by accident while looking at the B-17 through them… haha
The F-15 in that pic is from my duty station when I was in the AF. Great show! Awesome pics!

I have thought about this too. While it would be glorious to be a fighter pilot, it truly is your life. It seems that in order to do this, you would have to sacrifice a normal life…
Maybe its worth it to some…
metro and penguin? wtf happened to the cool call signs. iceman? mavrick? goose? viper? jester?
I had to work both 12 hour shifts saturday and sunday at that show at the gate. I stood in that blazing heat with my M-4 and full tact vest directing people on to the base. Only to have assholes bitch at me about how bad traffic is and how ridicules the walk is. I can’t believe how rude a disrespectful people where to us. I really want to but stroke the lady in the head who told me to screw off when she bitched at me about the walk only because I said how can you complain when it’s free?
But there was a good bunch of people who had nothing but nice things to say to us. I’m just still irked at how many asshole where there.
End of my rant.

That was exactly my logic. The walk fucking blew, but for free, I really cant complain.
I felt so bad for you guys…
