There was a huge airshow this weekend and so we decided to brave the weather and check it out. We left in the morning with all our rain gear since it was raining. Once we got there the rain stopped but there were still clouds in the sky. But we had a great time and got to see some great performances. Here are just a few of the many we saw....it was an all day event.
These guys (Screaming Eagles) were part of the starting performance, landing with the National Anthem on loud speaker.
As were these guys with the Alaskan flag. They were part of the "Wings of Blue."
This guy flew around for a while in his WWII grasshopper plane. The guy was 84 years old and flying in his original WWII uniform. Very impressive if you ask me.
This lady on the other hand didn't have such a great day. I am sure her performance would have been awesome. . .but due to low clouds it was unsafe for her to perform. She did however take off and make an attempt. Oh well, she later walked by and gave Tate her autograph.
These "Canadian Snowbirds" were quite impressive to watch. Pictured is 11 snowbirds but they only performed with 9. I think the extra two were only for cases of emergency.
Their performance started before they even left the ground. Each pilot and assistant came out in a choreographed manner and prepared for takeoff.
Once in the air, they were full of formations and gave a great 'loud' performance.
And their final fly-by.
And a special treat. . . .Fat Albert. . .bringing you the. . . .
Blue Angels!
And what a performance they gave. . . . .
