its a bird, its a plane, its… well, it is plane!

Last weekend I attended the Warbirds over Madera air show and it was pretty stinkin’ cool!  That was the first time that I have ever attended an air show before.  They had a bunch of restored bombers and fighter planes from World War II, modern jets, and even a few “built it yourself” kit airplanes and helecopters.  If you have never attended an air show before do it if you have any interest in history, aircraft, or flight.  They even had some of those stunt planes that would go straight up, and straight back down… BACKWARDS!!  That has to be one of the craziest rides of a lifetime to have the feeling of going backwards and tumbling through the sky in a airplane.  Anyways, I’ll quit rambling.  Check out a few of my favorite shots from the day.

P.S.  Just a tip… make sure to take sunscreen so you don’t get a gnarly farmers tan burn like I did!

Now this is something that I probably wouldn’t want to see painted on the side of my airplane!

Ahh, look… it gave birth to a baby airplane!
