Airshow kinda sucked this year.
Not many birds on static display. one F-15, F-16, KC-135, C-130, Beech 400, B-25, T-6 Texan, a few trainers, several civilian aircraft, Blackhawk, Apache, and a Bell Ranger. There was no flyover by the F22 or B2 as the program indicated. After I found that out, I left and went home. I watched the rest of the show from home.
The best part of the show was of course the F-15 and F-18 demos.
I have a few pictures, ut they are on my wife's laptop. I've yet to upload them to Photobucket. I've got a nasty sinus infection and feel like crapola all day yesterday and didn't do squat.

Thats sucks that niether the Raptor nor the Spirit made the trip ![:( :(](https://raptorsource.com/forum/Smileys/custom/sad.gif)
The Spirit is stationed about 1:30 by air from us. The closest B-1 station is in Abeline, TX, about two hours by air from us, and the B-52 is kept at Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, about an 1:30 by air south of us. I imagine it was partially due to fuel consumption by the big beasts that they were left out of the show. The T-Brids support C-17 came in dropped off their stuff Thursday and left. It came back last night, picked up their ground crew and logistics and left. The T-Birds departed last night as well.
