Planes, Planes, Planes

It's been a busy couple of weeks, so I have not posted in a while. I'm going to try and catch up on a couple of things I've been up to. A couple of weekends ago was the Little Rock Air Show with the Blue Angels as the feature. I saw this a couple of years ago and last year there was no air show cause the military cut back on spending or something. But it came back this year and it was awesome. Since the last one I got a new camera so that made it even more fun this time.



I got there around noon, not early enough to see the paratroopers drop, I was standing in line. But I walked around all the planes and helicopters that were on the ground; bombers, transports, fighters, etc. It was great. There were tons of people out there.

The Blue Angels were flying about 3 pm. I got done with all the grounded planes and got some food then found a spot in runway center (the area where most of the formations and high speed flyby's are performed). It was fairly difficult to catch them flying by so fast but it was fun to try and a great show to watch. It still amazes me the amount of people who will bring out chairs and wait all afternoon to see the Blue Angels fly, but they leave before the performance is over, just to "beat the traffic." Really? That seems like a lame excuse to me, personally.

Anyways, if you would like to see more photos check out my flickr site or click on one of the photo's.
