WOW!!! We went to the airshow today! It is called, Wings over Wyoming and was it ever awesome. My batteries died on my camera so I didn't get very many pictures. I'm so glad that we are coming tomorrow.

Today we saw:

The U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team,

The Firebirds Aerobatic Team-it was a two ship show, and I really, really enjoyed them

We saw a USN Legacy flight where they had three planes from different eras all flying together in the skies (an f-18 Hornet, a FJ4 (that is a Fury fighter that was specifically designed to fight the MiG 15 & 17's) and an AD4N Douglas Skyraider----very cool formations to see all together.

The P51D Mustang Demonstration was totally awesome, the sound of the engine as it went by just brought chills down the spine. I think I did manage to get some on the ground pictures of it.

The Wyoming Air National Guard's C-130 did a water drop demonstration, I had never seen a drop done up close. It was so hot out on the tarmac that we all wished they would have missed the runway and dropped it on us!

One of my favorite demonstrations was a mock dog-fight between the FJ4 Fury fighter and the the MiG 15 & MiG 17. It was soooo very cooollllll!!! They had really cool narration to go along with it, like a play-by-play, described the maneuvers, tactics being used, etc.

Another huge favorite of mine was the USAF F-15E Strike Eagle Demo team. Holy Smokes the coolest thing about watching all of the jets, is that they are so quiet and then boom, they pass you and those jets and the noise just blows your hair back, what a total rush!

The USAF, not to be out done by the USN, conducted their own version the legacy flight done by the USN, only they call it the USAF Heritage flight. Now, this one really got Dan. An F-15 Strike Eagle flying side by side with a P-51. I was quite impressed myself.

Then came another favorite of mine. The US Navy F/A-F18F Super Hornet Demonstration. GET OUT THE EAR PLUGS and tie your hair down tight, cause these boys can really kick it!

I loved the airshow and was so excited that I was able to stay for all of it. The attendance for today was about 6000.

Tomorrow, the USAF Thunderbirds are the show headliners. WHEW WEE! I'm so excited to see them.
