The Southern Most Spectatular Air Show

 

 
Every few years the Naval Air Base just to the east of Key West opens it’s doors for a free air show which highlights the Blue Angles. The air show also includes WWII Airplanes, biplanes, stunt planes, an aerobatic hilliocopter and lots of static displays. To top it off the show is free and the day we went was a total blue sky day perfect for watching planes fly and for getting sunburned (which we did). Thousands of people showed up and it was a great day for all. Here’s a few pictures of the show, hope that you like them.


Ever hear of  Radio Free Cuba? This plane flys every day over the Florida Keys (every day) transmitting FM and TV signals to Cuba... your tax dollars at work.

She needs to be carefull, that plane bites! 


After walking around the displays I started taking pictures of the air show in the sky.




These lazy loops were made by the glider below and the flying was set to clasical music.



He flew on his side, upside down and managed to flip this plane end over end in mid air!


Look at the top of the wing an you can see the woman doing wingwalking!

Then they anounced the Blue Angles would be flying and everyone found a good place to watch.





High powered takeoffs

So many Gee's that the very air above the wings seperates into vapor!
 
A fast break away into ...

 


into a star burst!

  1. After I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me

    Perhaps there is an easy method you are able to remove me from that service?
