Terrors of the Sky...

This last Saturday, September 12th, Robert's brother and sister-in-law (Josh & Sarah) as well as the two of us ventured out to the Sacramento Airshow. We met up and took lightrail in for free! It was Robert's first ride so we had a lot of fun. Little did I know how excitement was to come. With their father being in the Air Force for 8 years, I believe, Robert & Josh grew up dreaming of planes and their "awesomeness".

If you want to see grown men act like six-year-olds again.....go to an Airshow!

Don 't get me wrong, these planes were amazing! Like nothing I've ever seen before! BUT to see a plane blast by men jump up and down exchange multi high-fives was priceless.

It was so fun to see Robert get so excited. I had no idea he knew SO MUCH about planes until we walked 10 more feet, saw another plane and he started telling me all of its best attributes and all of the P,B,F, 52, 22, 16, etc. It was crazy, but SO much fun!

I had a blast not only watc hing all these loud planes go by but I LOVED testing out my zoom!! these planes were moving so fast and so high but I think i got some great shots I wanted to share!

These performers were called "Wing Walkers". It was a girl that climbed up on the wing during flight and had no parachute or any safey equipment except for a simple lap belt.

In this picture she went by doing a headstand.

In this picture she is sideways with one leg hooked on the bar.

Upside down...with only a lap belt!

Standing and waving.

These guys were called the Patriots. Apparently there are only 30 of these in the world, so it was very rare and exciting that we got to see a B-2 Stealth Bomber.

This was a tribute to how far we have progressed with our U.S. Fighter Planes

This is the newest and best fighter plane yet. It's called an F-22 Raptor and it was remarkable to watch!

This picture below was a demonstration of what it would look like to open the bomb doors.


Here is one of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds in a steep climb. These pilots had some amazing tricks!!




They also had older and larger planes around to go look at, and some you could even go inside!





Here are more pictures of the Thunderbirds who are the main spotlight. As you can see, there are 4 flying one way, and a fifth flying in between the opposite way.

Here's a video of all 5 doing a perfect loop.

This is called....INSANE!
