Tyndall's Air Show

Tyndall Air Force Base hosted the Gulf Coast Salute, an air show on March 26th and 27th. (I know, I know... I am so incredibly behind in blogging!) We went with some of our good friends who are stationed at Tyndall with us -- Denis and Lisa. We brought lawn chairs and enjoyed watching the stunts and performances by all of the amazing aircraft. Our favorite was the finale -- the Thunderbirds! (How can you not love watching them?)

Me, pressing all sorts of buttons in an E-9!

Lisa and I sitting in a C-17 -- It's huge!

A real, live hovercraft! Shaun tried to ask the guy some questions about how fast it could go and such, but was answered with "I can't disclose that information." Sweet!
This plane landed on top of the truck as it was driving down the runway. It took a couple of tries because of the wind, but it was cool.






A man rigged his school bus to shoot 75-foot flames out the back of it. Not only that, but it reached speeds of 350 MPH.

This is one of the tricks that the Thunderbirds do, when they seemingly fly two of the planes right at each other and then swerve right at the last moment to graze past each other.

And last, but not least, the United States Air Force's Thunderbirds!
