2011 Air Show

Saturday at the airshow





First look at the display planes, this was a bomber that you could get up on but the line didn't warrant the wait.



Bryn already thinks she needs expensive toys- even though I was told by the airman that this was one of the most reasonable helicopters that the military owns- as far as that goes.



Trying to get the safety belts on in the medic copter



We have success- the only problem being is that these copters aren't equiped with infant seats and she's out of the 99th percentile



Katie and Bryn posing for our investment in the american military- hey we're all part owners, right?



Couple of trainer planes doing circles around some paratroopers




Double decker parachutists with one big flag.

One of the acts, sure would be fun to go for a ride, way better than a roller coaster because the actuality of falling out of the sky is there.



A noted appearance by the stealth bomber- I made a balsa wood one of these in middle school and it didn't need triple redundant computers to fly- course there wasn't room for a lounge chair like these guys have either.



Tuskagee P-51C beautiful plane- that V-12 Rolls is sweet.



In case you can't see that's two thunderbirds crossing paths at 500+ mph.



More thunderbirds, the flight precision is amazing and the afterburners are great for noise even though...



We put earplugs in for Bryn before the thunderbirds came on and she promptly fell asleep, slept through the several low flying jets going 1000 mph+ with full afterburners.
