Airshow and a Busy Week Ahead

This past weekend I was in New Jersey to visit my brother and see an airshow. I have always loved going to airshows and used to take flying lessons a long time ago. Since my brother is currently stationed in NJ, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. (Air Force, Army, Navy) we visited him and saw the airshow.

It was a lot of fun and we saw some pretty cool aerobatics and static displays. It was not the best airshow I've ever been too, but it was still fun to see.

The weather was supposed to be cloudy all day long, so I only packed my facial sunscreen. Boy was that a bad idea. It was cloudy in the morning when we arrived, but turned very sunny very quickly. My face is fine, but my arms are horribly sunburnt. It's pretty painful! That is the last time I listen to the forecast, sunscreen is always coming with me!!!

The US Air Force Thunderbirds were the last performance. I've seem the a few times before, and I absolutely love them! When I was little I wanted to be a Thunderbird pilot. Yeah, I was really into flying. :)  (I still think that would be awesome...) Anyhow, the weather decided to change abruptly and they had to end their performance a bit early. It started to downpour and storm! Luckily we weren't parked too far away!

We also got the see the Golden Knights again. They are the US Army Parachute Team.

Below are a few photos of lots of different things throughout the show. I took far too many pictures and have been to busy to crop them and make them look a little bit better. This week is and will continue to be really crazy!

I'll try to get another post up in a day or two with better photos, but it may take awhile. I'll be all over New England this week. But hey, that means more pictures of more pretty places!

It looks cloudy here, but this was early on, the sun did come out!














Thunderbirds!

These last few are towards the end of the airshow, when the rain was getting close to starting. I have far too many pictures in between to post them all.
