2009 Air Force Appreciate Week - Airshow Photos

Post by BruteForce »

I took my family yesterday to the air show at Hill AFB. While the weather looked cool (overcast), we got quite sunburned watching all the awesome jets and vintage planes.

A few photos and a video.

Agreed. We enjoyed the F4 far better than the F22 and F16's that were present. The combat take-off was spectacular.

Of course, watching the C17 drop a stick over the DZ (Air Force Academy cadets) was pretty phenomenal too. I've been on (and in) C5's, C130's, but never a C17.

Cool pics.

It's amazing how some of the new Air Force stealth aircraft are made to look like red suv's. 8)

Nice pics. I enjoy air shows and watching past and present military aircraft. I had the opportunity to attend the military show at Edwards AFB last year and had a blast. It was awesome.

While on mission a few years ago, I had the opportunity to be in the air (helicopter) while the space shuttle landed at Edwards. It was quite the experience. I don't recall ever being that close to fast movers while in a hover.

Wrong Air Force Base I meant Andrews AFB not Edwards.
