The jet ripped thunder over our heads as Jedi II and Princess Ballerina clutched their water bottles and peered into the sky.
Our first airshow was a rousing success today. Jedi II discovered that he enjoyed warbird aircraft more than jet fighters (mainly due to the noise level during flight) and loved watching the pressurized air traveling over the jetwings during flight. Princess Ballerina got to touch the Air Force falcon, Destiny, and cried that she didn't get to jump on the air castle. Both got to sit in the cockpits of a helicopter and a few private planes, while their mother waited in an hour-long line for $5.00 hot dogs. Unfortunately, the last two dogs were sold to the people standing in front of her!
It was amazing to inspect such huge aircraft up close, shake the hand of the pilot, then watch them complete jaw-dropping aerial maneuvers the same day.
I'll post pictures that I snapped tomorrow night.
Next time we'll bring ear protection!
