Air Show
We were sitting in our living room and noticed the sounds of planes started sounding really strange all of a sudden. We are used to quite a bit of air traffic since there is a small airport (private planes, not commercial) near us and we are in the flight path of the military planes, but this time it sounded weird enough to prompt Zach to ask if the pilot was drunk as he walked to the door. Well, they weren’t drunk, but evidently there was an airshow (or practice for one) at the nearby airport. Planes were diving and circling eachother doing all manor of tricks. Zane was really excited and kept pointing and declaring “eh-pay” (airplane) over and over again. It was an unexpected treat.
edited to add: After some investigation, I discovered it was an air show. The planes did a bunch acrobatics (large area of smoke to the right of the planes) and what you see pictured is probably the simulated dogfight. It was spectacular, although I can’t imagine paying the $40 – 50 admission price to get in to see it. yikes!
