The guys started putting up some of the camp stuff a day early,
to give everyone less to do the day of.
|
A lot of work goes into that "camping" stuff.
|
Miss KayJo and I on the flightline watching "Tora, Tora, Tora!"
up close. :)
|
Kay's friend A came too.
|
We enjoyed being up front for the warbird shows, even the girls
did.
|
Tora, Tora, Tora! (Henceforth known as TTT) was a great
reenactment show which we all enjoyed a great deal.
|
The story goes through the bombing of Pearl Harbor,
|
America's reaction,
|
The Doolittle Raid,
|
And the war-ending bomb drops on Japan...
|
|
|
|
The girls ran up to the front row for that. They were
impressed, and asked a lot of questions about what the announcer was
saying. |
TTT did a well choreographed show, with great music, air raid
sirens, and an announcer with a lot of heart for it.
|
The T-6s came by for one pass...
|
And the Bombers and fighters too.
|
Tough girls weren't always so tough. ;)
|
More pyro. I do love me some pyro.
|
Dinner was Red Robin, where we ate too much, and I'm trying to
decide whether or not to post an unflattering picture of other
people. ;)
|
Ultralight flies overhead...looks like it's about to fly into
our wind sock.
|
We're waiting for the night show to begin...
|
The Canadian skydive team...those dudes were amazing.
|
Some of our gang getting ready to watch the night air show, right
up front. :)
|
You can't see them, but that's Aeroshell team taking off.
|
As you can see, my camera couldn't do it, no matter what
setting I used. *sigh*
|
Gene Soucy, man on fire...great routine.
|
Now it's pitch black. A T-6 did a routine as well...
|
Now you're going to have to look at a LOT of fireworks photos,
because THOSE turned out just fine!
|
It was an amazing show...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jet truck that lights the fuse that sets off the next...
|
Oh yeah.
|
Wall of Far.
|
Did I mention I love pyro yet? Night pyro is even cooler.
;)
Grand finale prior to heading back to camp, and home in the
morning...
|
We had to empty a can of Redi Whip, or toss it. Since it
can't be wasted, Mr. T is showing them how it's done. ;) |
|
However, Josh for the win. On that note, time to go home.
;)
|
|
Oshkosh is over, and all that remains all over the field, miles
of it, are Airplane ghosts in the grass... |
