Quiet weekend - Hill AFB Airshow.

| No Comments
So, the weather has been quite unpredictable these past two weeks. This weekend was no exception.  We had periods of hot direct sunlight followed immediately by hurricane force winds and hail. The weather made it difficult (impossible) to plan any type of outdoor activity. Normally, I'm not bothered by rain, but the hail and lightning is what concerned me the most.

So, instead we decided to brave the weather and attend the HAFB airshow on Saturday. That place was packed! I truly felt bad for base security.. hundreds of thousands of civilians running around like crazy people.

Initially, the TV news indicated the Blue Angels would not be making an appearance, but it seems that just after we left they arrived and put on quite a show. What a bummer!

A few photos from Saturday:

Easily, the F4 was my favorite aircraft to watch. The combat take-off was awesome! I also enjoyed the C17 (pictured above) circling above waiting for the pattern to clear so a stick of jumpers (from the AF Academy) could sky dive.

All in all, quite a great show and we're looking forward to the next show in 2011.
