t_wad Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 These are some pics from when I was at the airshow on saturday. That's me and Captain_Juno in front of an A10. I'm the one on the left. Just a picture of a B52 Picture of a re-enactment of Pearl Harbor called Tora Tora Tora, that was really cool. Picture of the F-16 demo. Picture of some Cobra Helicopters, the things that these guys can do is amazing. Picture of Fat Albert taking off. I believe it's a C-5. That thing can take off on like 250 feet of runway. And last but certainly not least, a pic of the blue angels. This was right before blue angel number 5 (i think) flew over top of us from the opposite direction, scaring the *beep* out of everybody.

TerranCmdr Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Freaking awesome man. Is that a JATO takeoff in the second to last pic? Link to post Share on other sites
t_wad Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Yea, it was one of the coolest things there. Supposedly, at next year's airshow, there is supposed to be a f-22 demo there. Link to post Share on other sites

t_wad Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Like I said, they MIGHT have a f-22 demo there next year, so it would definately be a must see. Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixkskg Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Blue angels came to the airshow by my house as well, yeah I know what you are talking about when the two jets come from behind doing god knows what speed and scare the hell outta everyone. No cobras though. Link to post Share on other sites
t_wad Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Believe it or not, the cobras were probably my least favorite thing. There was also one of those "acrobatic planes" there (really don't know what to call it. But we didn't manage to get a picture of him in action. Link to post Share on other sites
enzo100 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Any more pictures? Awesome stuff. I haven't been to an air show since i was 5 when I saw a ground re-enactment, played with a AA gun, and got a "Top Gun" flight suit that I used to wear all the time to kindergarten I saw some stunt pilots in bi planes and such practicing for a show in rhode island, that was amazing, all of the stalls and such. Glad you had a good time Link to post Share on other sites

RRKeith Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 For some reason I don't think thats a real Zero in the pic It's a T-6. Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I love cobras. My school is right next to Moffit Air Field, so we always get flyovers by cobras, F18s and Blackhawks, not to mention C-130s. Sometimes the '18s will fly so low they shake the whole building. It's awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

STARGATESG1NUT Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 (edited) I need to go look for my pictures. Did anyone else go on the Huey ride?

ad400317 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I think that is a C130, not a C5. Awesome pics though, I miss the angels... AN F22 HOLY *beep*! I would give my left hand pinkie finger to see that thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbit SWAT Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 It was teh sechs. The AF did a little demo at the Sun n' Fun Flyin, with that beast, an F/A-18, and a P-51... The F-22 kinda flew around way up there. But it took off right in front of me. Link to post Share on other sites

XeroJager Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Interesting aircraft! Man.. i haven't seen ONE freaking F-22A In ALL of Texas.. kinda saddens me. I've seen a bunch of F-16C/Ds and F-15C/Es though.. and with the new terror alerts... i'm sure they'll be up there even more. Link to post Share on other sites
Kraut Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Heh, I used to go to every Airshow at Day In't (I lived in Troy). This year, I WORKED at the airshow here in OK on Tinker. I was going to try to get home in time to see this one, but couldn't. Looked like a great show, as always. Probably hot as always too. F22 is nothing. You gotta see the E3 AWACS fly USAF Thunderbirds > Navy Blue Angels Link to post Share on other sites
