goose bumps and air shows

Are you ready for some more pictures!? I hope so! Because we went to an airshow to see the Thunderbirds a few days ago, and I want to share my favorite pics with you.

It's been years since I went to an airshow, and I thought I was in for a day of long waits, wickedly hot weather, and a lot of misery for an hour and a half of sheer terror. Ok, not sheer terror. Sheer excitement? Big, honkin' goose bumps? Maybe all of the above. Because when those planes unexpectedly fly right over my head, I have all sorts of sensations go through me!

Anyway, here are my favorite pics of the day (you may click on any of them to enlarge)....





This is what teenage boys look like approximately two seconds after one has flown overhead. :-D


It was very cloudy, which  made taking photos a bit of a challenge ...




Hewo, wittle piwot. I see you!




Father/Daughter moment here. I love this pic.

 



We got to talk to one of the pilots. JUST KIDDING. This is my guy. I'm sure he's cuter than any of those pilots anyway ...



The rest of these are photos of people I have never seen before in my life. But they were interesting to me, so I snapped away. I know ... I'm a freak.



Little cowboy. Future pilot? Hmm. He'd have to be ok with switching hats.

That's it! If the Thunderbirds or the Blue Angels ever come your way, be sure to go enjoy the show. It's free, just like the goosebumps.

Great photos, and you don't have to know the subjects in every one you take. I have only seen the thunderbirds on tv, but hope to see them in a live performance one day soon. Thanks for the goosebumps.
