Clicky

For those that have never been, this event is huge. If you have the chance to come out this year, you will want to come back every year.

You almost would have missed them Paratrooper Skyshark. While doing the Air and Water show in Chicago, 2 Thunderbird pilots clipped wings and a bomb rack fell off into Lake Michigan, where they were grounded immediately. Luckily, they have been cleared to fly again.

I only got to catch about 45 minutes of the show while I was working, but I did get to see the A-10, and a refueling plane ( c-130? ). It was quite an awe inspiring thing to see the A-10 flying by and then feel the repport of the gattling gun firing blanks. I wish I could have seen the whole show.

Got a specific date in mind, I will be in the Reno Sparks area around the 19th driving up from LA. Also any specific location or just go to the beer tent and look for 2 wild men drunk off their asses and molesting small farm animals!

:D
