Our local regional airport had an air show on Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful day so I went to check it out. Pretty awesome.

The A-10 demonstration was really cool. I sure wouldn't want those guys shooting at me?? Wonder if you could coyote hunt with one????

This was called the Heritage Flight. The A-10 and a P-51 Mustang flew together to represent planes from two generations. Our very own Chuck Yeager flew the Mustang during WWII!

A great crowd came out to enjoy the show and the beautiful day! The event was free. They even had school buses to shuttle people from two remote parking places. Really a great day and I'm glad I went. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures!!

Interesting.
Reminds me of my younger days dropping into Iwo Jima to give air support for my buddies.
