I love air shows! When we lived in Chicago, we used to get to see a lot of the practice flights the participating teams took. I really missed being able to do that this year. The best part was when the Blue Angels or whoever the precision team was would buzz the skyscrapers downtown. I used to work on the 30-somethingth floor and it was freaky to see a fighter jet that close to your building. I think they stopped letting them do that after 9/11, which I get, but it was still pretty awesome! Great pics!
Really though I think its just recognizing the history and experience there. And in a lot of cases that they’ve realized and accepted that somethings just doing matter. They can comfortable say “To hell with ya!”
Isn’t that fun? We live nearby, so we just watch from our backyard. It makes me get a little motion sick just thinking about being up there though! Great photos…
What!?! No comment on the F-22 Demo flight? Holy-moley, Casey, that jet can do everything except cat herding. Didn’t you see her turn a complete circle in about a 1/4 mile DIAMETER? That will get the old pressure suit pumping, I’m guessing.
For an “old dude” WW2 buff, the Warbirds show was fabulous, too.

Great pictures, Casey! We used to visit the local air show in the summers back when my husband was into building model aircraft.

I’ve never been to an air show. I’ve heard they’re a lot of fun…I bet my boys would love one.
The picture off the reflection was very cool. Great photos!

Awesome pics! It has been one of my lifelong dreams to attend an airshow, and I’ve never had the opportunity.
You made me feel a tiny bit better about it!
