Airshow


We went to the “Southern most Air Show” this Sunday down at Key West and got our ears blown out! The static displays of planes were excellent. The flying was great and at times, even spectacular. I was amazed to see planes actually tumbling end over end in the sky or being placed into zero velocity, inverted flat spins and still pull out. Parachuters, wing walkers, precision flying by a dozen small planes. Old WWII navel aircraft floating by in precision formations, giant cargo planes leaping into the air, acrobatic flying that should have ripped the wings right off the plane and Jets… Lots of jets! Ear splitting, body shaking, ripping the very air that you breathed apart, Jets! Their after burners glowing red in the noon day heat as they tore the air apart at 750 ft/sec. Then, the main show cranked up, the Navy Blue Angles. I have to admit that they know how to put on a show. Precision flying, ground shaking thunder, passed so tight that from our angle it appears that they will collide all set in a blue sky filled with high white clouds. What a show. We will put a lot more pictures on Picasa in a few days. Hope you like them!
