Did some volunteering at Randolph's air show this weekend and managed to see some interesting airplanes, both vintage and new. I saw the F22 the first day but i did not have a camera with me:bash:. Those planes are CRAZY, loud and they're worth the money IMO. I thought i was about to be shot by a security personel because i was trying to get a close look at it. I also spoke to a Spooky's weapon officer about his plane, which is pretty cool since i'm trying to pursue that career. He told me some pretty interesting stories about his deployment in Afghanistan. Anyway, here are some pictures...they're not the best but enjoy them.

Haha, good shit man, my dad actually has one of those wooden Budweiser crates from the Vietnam war. I love airshows and aircraft, its a wonder that I never joined the Airforce. That AC-130 was pretty badass. I wouldnt **** with that gun and those C-5's are massive. Did they do a demonstration on the C-17 Globemasters? Those big ass jets can pull of some pretty amazing manuvers and speed for their size.

Yea, they had a C-17 but it appeared out of nowhere, so i couldn't take a picture of it. It took off and went almost vertical. I was pretty suprised it can do that considering how big it is.

The 4th picture from the bottom is Tora. My dad flys one of the Zero's in the act. It might have been his plane in the picture or not. If you have never seen there performance, you are missing a great show.

I have a hundred+ from the show. I went on Sunday, and left just before the rain came in again...missed the F-18, but heard it flying. I'll post what I have when I'm done with the processing.

The Tora performance and its narration is badass, and if that is your dad, then he is a badass.

Post the pictures here. I didn't get that many on Sunday thanks to the rain.


Here's some more stuff...
