Was at the airshow yesterday – with all the benefits of knowing people in the business :)

Mad people doing airobatics, mad guy hanging upside-down off the wing of a plane while it then barrell-rolled so he was standing up. Pretty cool to watch.

Of course, then there was the fighter jets. fast, loud, and i swear the F16 can do a u-turn in less space than half the cars on the road.

Then, of course, there’s the air force supply planes that do crazy landings, take offs and can fly a few feet above the ground while dropping supplies/releif out the back.

When the US air force guy was saying what missions some of their fighters had flown in, notably absent was Gulf War II. Hrrmm… maybe a touchy subject? Who knows.

An F111 doing a dump and burn is always pretty to see.
