Great shots this weekend at an awesome show. It was a little dicey on Saturday as everyone had some sort of maintenence issue but it was still safe and everyone was able to perform. The QC airshow did a great job with the hospitality and organization. Thanks to everyone we met there and sorry to the fellas about the watch on the dedication pass...I was too busy and flat out forgot.
I'll try to remember this weekend at Evansville!

Thanks for the extra sneaky burner passes on Sunday morning dude! Those were sweet! The first one scared the crap out of me, I was totally facing the other way!

I'm assuming that was a "make sure the plane works" flight?

Spicoli,

If you don't mind me asking, what was the issue that prevented the completion of the first demo on Saturday?

Was great to see you come back later in the day though! As a casual spectator, it looked as though you really had a bone in your teeth the second time around. Don't think I've ever seen such an aggressive F-16 demo before. Nice work!

Cheers,
Rob

I was thinking the same thing. After the initial pass and the turn around I could almost feel the aggression in both the aircraft and his voice. laugh.gif

Could have been the last JATO ever at Davenport Municipal. Such a great place to see it too, the runway is so close to the crowd line.

Second one is a dandy there Nate.
Rhino
Thanks Rob!

Normally I would not post such a back lit pic, but I really liked this one as they had just come out from under a cloud when Boss called "Ready, Break!" It seemed to make the smoke turn a different shade of gray/white.
