It took us 2.5 hours to go about 4 miles from our hotel to park at the air show on the Marine Corp Base! Then we walked about 1.75 miles to get our seat in the box seats in front of the grandstand. We brought a picnic dinner from Whole Foods, yum!
This is the jet truck! It shoots flames out of the back and charges down the runway. It takes a parachute to stop it. Wow, it was LOUD!
The red bi-plane did aerial acrobatics that were simply amazing, even stalling and coming straight down-yikes!
Here are the 4 Patriot jets flying SO close together!We missed the Blue angels because it took us so long to park. :-( but these were similar.
Here I am holding the Airshow program that I begged from one of the employees.Below is the grand finale-the "Wall of Fire." It was about a half-mile from our seat but we could feel the shockwaves and heat when it went off-wow! Turn up the sound!
