This is a drone which is an unmanned
aircraft mainly used for reconnaissance. Think of it like a large R/C
plane with someone flying it from a computer monitor, kinda like a video
game.

I don't know much about this plane
but it sure can fly fast and it looks cool.

These acrobatic guys do some stunts
that would have me sicker than a dog if I were riding along. I can't
believe how wild these guys fly. I guess if I had a big horsepower
engine in a small airframe, I'd want to push the limit too. And if you
think about it, it's no different than putting a lot of horsepower in a
light car. Yeah I get it, but I'm not going for a ride with them.

| I heard something being said by the announcer
but we really couldn't understand him but when this F-117 Nighthawk flew
by, I had a pretty good idea what he had just said. I jumped out of my
chair and grabbed the camera in hopes that he would make a return pass.
Lucky for me, he did but if I had taken the shot right before this one,
it would have been much better. The noise factor coming from it wasn't
very much either which means, once you hear it, your screwed.
I consider myself pretty lucky to have seen the
stealth fighter in person because right after I took this shot, he was
on his way to New Mexico. What a cool looking aircraft.

On the east end of the airport was
where the car show was being held. This meant that most of the
spectators had to pass right by us on there way to the air show. The
buildings on the right side are hangers and there were show cars parked
in front of them too. There were about 200 cars that showed up to enjoy
the show that day.
