What did you get to go up in? And where was this show at?

I was out at some property near Selfrage Air Base this weekend target shooting and I saw two fighter jets and a huge cargo plane go over. The jets where off in the distance but loud and the cargo plane went right on top of us and low. I love that stuff and the people that live there and see it daily don't even look up anymore. LOL

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

One of these years I need to go to EAA, I'm only about an hour or so away and have never been there.

Sweet pics! I am a student pilot (still plugging away towards my private piolt ticket!) and airplane fanatic.

TH0001 / Bigfoot / Blue Zero / Da Gonz- Glad you liked them.

Bob - We went up twice different plane each time - the one in the pic was a little Cessna. The second was a really small, curvy/aerodynamic looking plane.. can't remember the name.

We were at Oakland Airport in Waterford - Unfortunately when you see something every day it loses it's novelty I guess??

jasonmac - yes it really was a lot of fun.. It was sooo hot but my son didn't want to leave until he was really exhausted..

After he told me it was a tie for the "funnest day of the summer".. Tied with when we went to Cedar Point (premier roller coaster park)

Thanks for taking a peek into our weekend

Hows your cirrus doing? Does it have any probs other than the standard alternator popping the CB during startup? What is the actual life limit of those things too? I heard it's 7 years?, is that right? Do you have the avidyne or standard instruments?
