I went to the Airshow Expo today here at McGuire AFB. I took a lot of pictures and thought I would share some of them. They were taken with with a Kodak Z710 and no photoshop. I was pretty happy with the way they came out. Enjoy

Here are the Thunderbirds. To those who don't know who they are. They are the elite flying team for the Air Force. Just like the Blue Angels, just not as good.

lol, me and a couple of my friends went to the Eglin air show a few weeks ago and the Thunderbirds were there and that's the same exact thing we were thinking the whole time.

Nice pics, especially of the Strike Eagle :boink:


(and the F-22 is so god awful ugly IMO)

I like how the F22 is the only one with guards and a bigger roped off area, LOL. That C5 would be good, steal it and we can start a GTA Company in Japan jacking rare TTR's, MK4's, Turbo A's, and the venerable Chaser and Soarers. LOL. Also love the A10 but wheres the Tomcats, they should have never been retired, Im iss going to airshows when I lived on base, harrier, f14's, f18's and the blue angels, man those were the days of being a marine brat.............

Thanks for the comments about the pics. I'm absolutely loving the front shot of the F-22, the rear of the F-15, and the gun on the A-10. I have some more I might post up if you guys want me to. I took like 140 pictures in the 4 hours I was there.

I'll see if they will let me borrow it

Yea, that's what really pissed me off about being over in the desert. All I got to see were little red X's. Like you said, you know what they all look like.

Really cool pic's man! Thanks. I have never seen a three plane "Heritage flight" before.:icon_razz Ya' gotta' just love the F-4 Phantom II...absolutely one of the baddest jets ever! Just ask the Israeli's!!! I used to live in Reno, NV. and the Air Guard there flew the Rf-4C (Recce birds) On the last flight, of the last aircraft to leave for retirement, they stripped one down, and went out and puched a Mach 2.5+ hole in the sky!!!:aigo: :bowdown: ::salute:: 1705mph! If you can believe that! ? WOW!
But anyways, looks like you had a memorable day.:icon_bigg

I wish that I had a chance to work the RF-4[C] and the F-111. I heard some of the best things about those aircraft. I would have worked the Pave Tack pod [flying dildo] if only I had been in when those planes were still being used.

F4 is cool but the F-14 is my all time fav, I saw a flight with a WWII Corsair, an F-14 tomcat and an F-18 Super Hornet, it was sweet. Love the P-51 as well. F-22 is cool but IDK I like my russian birds to the SU-37 and Mig 29 kick ass COMRADE!!!!!!! LOL

I dont mean to hijack your thread but since these pics are related I didnt think you would mind (one servicemember to another). These are some pics from the airshow at Cherry Point, NC. The planes there were pretty boring....we're the Marines definitely not as proficient in the air as the airforce.....so I snapped some shots of me and my friend's daughter with some tanks.

They put on a good show, but where it counts, the F-22 will clear the Su-37 and Mig-29 from the sky like the vermin they are.
Not even a contest vs the Raptor. ;)
