Air Show

 

This was an acrobatic stunt pilot who performed all sorts of scary tricks in his little plane. Here he is flying sideways and upside down, and barely moving, all at the same time.

Watching the sky for cool air planes.

The Thunderbirds were the main attraction!

We were close enough to the runway and with a little help from the zoom, you could see the pilots wave as they began their take-off.

It was VERY loud. Fortunately, we had noise-cancellation headphones for the boys.

The boys sat in a blackhawk, but I couldn't get Hannah to join them.

Trying to take a family photo isn't as easy as you might think...

The last weekend in September, we went to the Air Show at McConnell. The boys only sort of remembered going a couple years ago and they were excited to go again to the "Air Force" as Jonathan kept saying. It was very confusing to him that we were going to an air show on the air force base, so he just combined and shortened. We were fortunate to get a visitor pass from Keith's work again and so parking was a breeze! We spent the afternoon checking out the inside of giant airplanes and helicopters and watching the amazing pilots in the sky. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time. We were exhausted by the time we go home and had an early dinner and kids in bed by 7. We call that a successful day!
