I brought my telephoto lens and was practically drooling at all the spectacular photo opportunities. I was very glad for the ear plugs, however, especially since to my surprise the planes occasionally blew stuff up. The F-16 Fighting Falcon and the B-1B Lancer were my favorites, though they were so loud (especially the F-16) that my head almost exploded despite the ear plugs.

It blew stuff up.

Craaaaazy civilian stunt pilot in an MX-2 who deliberately stalled his engine, tumbled into freefall and then regained control just in the nick of time. And then did it again. And again. I wonder what he pays for life insurance.

Great pics Kbat. It was a really fun time out there. Beautiful weather lots of scenery and I didn't think it was too crowded. Th aircraft were amazing. I liked the Mig 17 show the best. Just a beautiful aircraft.

Awesome! I am so bummed we had to miss it - all I got to see was the B1-B from Rapid City. I wish they did one every year, so I wouldn't have to wait another two years! I really miss going to these!
