Here's some of the over 700 pics I took on Sat.
Wish the clouds would have been more co-operable.

I have ton's more that I'm planning on making a Gallery on ImageShack and uploading them also, but it will take some time to get them up.

Nope, it was an F-4 Phantom. Or at least, the front half of one.

Love the heritage flight...

Last show I went to (5 years ago??), the heritage flight was a P-51 Mustang and an F-15 Strike Eagle.

You want to talk about a MOVING demonstration?

It must've been all the dust flying around, 'cause my eyes sure were watery.

Love the heritage flight...

Yeah, but I don't know why they didn't do the A-10 and the P-47 instead... two generations of Thunderbolts. Last year's was supposed to be a P-51 and F-22, but it didn't happen (or it may have been at the end of the show; we left a little early).

 

[SavageEagle]

Those are some amazing shots shooter. I'd rep ya if I wasn't out already!
