Tyndall Air Show

Well, Last Sunday we drove down to Panama City to Tyndall Air Force Base to see an airshow. When we got there it was crowded in the parking lot. There was a line for the bus to the runway/tarmac so we waited for a bit. Here are the kids waiting:

Because of the wait we didn't get there in time to see the all of the cobra helicopter demonstration. The part we saw was neat. We looked around for a bit. I found an amusing sign on a static display.

Then we went to the front and watched the air show. Aaron thought the planes were loud and needed two sets of hands in addition to ear plugs.


We did remember to take some pictures of the planes.
They called this the heritage flight. It had an F-22, P-51, F-4 and an F-15, to represent different eras of the air force.

This one is an F-22 Raptor. It was quite fast as you can see I barely got a picture. Very cool!

Even Andy was impressed:



Mama & Kara:

Green Bean and Andy:

We didn't get a lot of pictures of the aircraft. Andy was too in awe and I was keeping Kara out of the flight path! She was not too impressed with everything since we couldn't get on it and fly it away so she and I walked around and looked at other things. When the blue angels started their show, they had the smoke on and made an arc in the sky. Kara told me they were making rainbows.

My favorite plane was the C-130. I love the sound of this plane. It's just neat.

After the airshow we had a tasty meal of Arby's and headed home. Apparently it was a long day for Kara because Andy took her out of the car and put her in the rocker, so he could help us unload and when I walked in this is what I found:

Too cute! Aaron's favorite plane was the F-15, which was starscream in the Transformers cartoon. The next day Kara got her little people buses and lined them up. Then she put the little people outside in a line, so apparently all she got out of the air show was waiting in line for the buses. Hm..
