It's supposed to be incredible.

Toss a PM if you're headed out that way.

That's one thing I miss about Columbus (or Dayton).... The Air-shows!!! Oh, and Easton shopping. :rock:

i believe it was on the history channel, top 10 fighter planes, and the p-51 mustang was rated #1. this was based on each planes performance in its respective era...

There's a whole charter plane group from here on the way, put together by a local radio host and avid plane enthusiast. Would be cool, but I couldn't make it.

At Oshkosh this year there where 3 wrecked and 2 killed. the other accident was over the lake where him and 2 other mustangs where doing rolls the 3rd mustang was going too slow and stalled, spinning into the lake

Not sure what the prices are like, but it sure was fun to look at all the stuff they have.

UNBELIEVABLE air show!!!

Highlights:

- F-22 Raptor. Holy crap! I've NEVER EVER seen anything fly like this thing can.
It is....unreal.

- USAF Thunderbirds. They were....pretty damn good!
I guess I'm kinda jaded after watching so much Blue Angels stuff.

- Talking with the pilots/owners of the P-51's. Great folks with some hella nice rides.

- Being able to walk up and touch the "Memphis Belle"!
Such a cool piece of history.

- Tuskegee Airmen Tribute. Standing ovation- from over 200,000 people!

- B-2 fly-by. The thing is....AWESOME!
It reminds me a lot of my truck: big, black, and powerful.


Kudos to the event organizers. VERY well done, well laid-out, easy entry, parking, and exiting.

Oh- and oddly enough, I met another SRT-10 owner as we were parking. He was in the H3 next to me and said, "Hey- I have a red one of those!". Nice guy. Hopefully he comes to visit us here.

I took HUNDREDS of pictures and a bunch of video.
I'll get 'em uploaded tonight.

Here's a couple shots of a legacy flight of an F-15, F-22 and P-51, and the first Langley F-22 to arrive at Langley.
