Air Show

This was my first ever air show. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but Brad really wanted to go, so I agreed. We drove 2 hours to the middle of the desert, and then waited in line two hours to park the car. Walked over a mile from the car to the entrance of the show. An air show consists of static displays of planes as well as flybys and airplane acrobatics. Within two hours of being at the show, we left. Waited in our car for two hours to leave, then drove another 2 hours home. Missed the exit to the freeway we needed to take home. It was an interesting adventure, one I most likely will not take again. SR-71 Black Bird, spy plane Mike, I thought of you when I saw this plane. It transports the Shuttle from Edward's Air Force Base to Cape Canaveral, Florida.
C-35, a transport plane, really big, for tanks and helicopters. Brad has fit 3 of his helicopters in one of these! I'm waving at you from in front of the plane.
