This is going to be a long post. I took a lot of pictures Saturday. Some didn't make the cut for reasons ranging from repetitiveness to photography fail. But there will be many pics. I'll leave comments above the pics I'm referring to. So, without further ado...



Waiting to pass thru the security checkpoint at the South Gate. There is little incentive to do something foolish here! Not shown in this photo are the 20 or so MP's with M4's.

These T-38's taxied by while waiting for the shuttles to the airshow. They were not part of the show. They were apparently on their way out for an exercise as they took off and left the scene.

There were plenty of other performers along with a bunch of static displays...

They even had a playground for the kids...Please ignore the rude person in front of my subject. ;)

All in all, it was a great show. I waited in traffic for an hour before I got my car parked, but it was well worth it. The show at Whiteman is bi-annual, so I'll be back in 2019! Hope you like the pics.

FUCKIN' CREEP!!!

Amazing pictures. I've never seen anything like that before -- doubt it's even an option up here. Can't believe the wear on the F-16 stick.
