Airshow from this weekend

Postby Ace » Wed Jul 04, 2007 1:54 pm

Went to my first airshow this past weekend. The Blue Angels were the highlight, but the bonus was an F-16 performance and an F-1117 made a brief couple of passes. Growing up, I bet I logged more hours into Falcon 3.0 on a Mac (of all things) as I have in UT, loved the F-16. The Blue Angels were top notch as well, scary how close they are willing to fly in formation.

I didn't take many shots of the prop plane stuff, but there are some there along with the hot air balloons.

Here's a Link (I recommend hitting "slideshow" to get the pictures larger)

Overall it was enjoyable, but suffered from very repetitive performances from the prop planes in my opinion. Because I'm a fighter plane buff, I'd do it again (with a bigger lense of course).

(Oh, happy 4th BTW)

Nice dude. Glad you had fun. I haven't been to a show like that in years.

I agree with the props though... usually they are just filler these days.
