The CZickness XLVI...What's next my friends.

[Benp]

Evening all!
I saw the Blue Angels when I was in my youth down in Pensacola, FL. It has been so long since I've been to an air show.

And since I'm in the neighborhood, how about a helicopter that means all-business !

A Cobra?

I remember when a big "wargames" type training the US Army did when I was a kid at Freeman Field. Apache helicopters by the dozen. The most awesome spectacle ever. They were always my favorite.

That little field has some deep history. The photo was taken on the 2nd floor of a building I later worked in. There was a basement but it was sealed off with diamond plate. I guarantee it was full of water, but I always was curious if there were treasures long forgotten down there.

A lot of history out there. Neat little WW2 display in the Airfield Museum. Caught a show or 2 at the NG Armory (Company C, 2nd Squadron, 152nd Cavalry Regiment). You guys would love the memorabilia.

I have an inner ear issue that does not like high-G things at an amusement park and really does not like pilot stuff.

It obviously never stopped you from going really fast straight ahead.

Awesome pics MM. Any chance they had a B1, A10, or F117A? I love those planes.

A10s!!!!….tactical dump trucks!!! 11b’s best friend in Iraq!!!!!

Orcas tomorrow.

Nope but if I was running asphalt in a 25 lap feature it cost me.

Might even be a Super Cobra ..... but I'm not sure. It was all that I could do to keep swinging the camera all day. The action was non-stop.
For some reason, I remember 'something' about Freeman Field myself. !?!

Dirt was not as rough on me but if the car was hooked up the side “G”s were fairly brutal

MM, the scenery is absolutely breath taking / wife brought her $4k Canon camera / look forward to posting more pics from that. Internet is spotty to say the least and too cheap to pay the liberal Disney mouse for their spotty and EXPENSIVE sea internet!!! We’re at Hoonah today. Juneau tomorrow and Ketchikan on Saturday…enjoying sunny skies and free internet, drinking rum and coke, which the rum was a stowaway…..lol!!!

Super Cobra's are pretty distinct, like the newer Viper.

For you, my friend !

For you, my friend !

Thank you amigo. That’s one dead sexy warthog! They fly over my location occasionally going to Purdue and sometimes low enough to see the pilot, awesome birds! Was working for a contractor over at married housing on campus and was given a break to go on top of the parking garage to watch them come in and take off. It's amazing how slow they can fly doing a 180° turn and stay in the air. Could only imagine the damage that 30mm GAU-8 could do to a bunch of bad guys doing that kind of maneuver. Along with air to air and air to ground munitions that bird is a BEAST!

Yesterday major accomplishment. The last big item on the “Must be done” list.
All 3 drums came full of race fuel. 2 of these are now full of used oil. Been setting a good while and time to go.
When you are servicing the race rugs/cars and the families fleet it’s easy to have that much used oil on hand. The fella that took it has a waste oil heater in his maintenance building.
