Upps! So no phone no pics?

Hope the fun you got there cheered you up covering the dissapointment.

I attended air shows a few times myself. Modern jet fighters are my favorites. Once the weather was cloudy. So for the first you heard a thunder sound, than the jet appeared below the clouds. Flew in front of you for some 5 seconds making a heartbreaking figure and than momentally gone in the clouds. Still resting with the sound.

I went to the Smyrna air show in Tn back in the eighties ,they the blue angles,thunderbirds and the Canadian snow birds , we were sitting in the shade from a C5 ,that bugger is huge ,and the Russian one is bigger . Got to see it taking off from Dulles  few years back.

I saw a C5 Galaxy at whidby island air show years ago and from what I remember the guide telling us was the size difference between the c5 and whatever the Russian plane was (in the mid 90's) was negligible. Something like 5' difference in length or width. Either way very impressive plane.

The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.

The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.
