SpectaculAIR Show!

A simply, glorious day for an air show out at Rocky Mountain Metro Air Show. Just to think 4 years ago Cameron was volunteering at one, today he worked it. Great weather day, blue skies, slight breeze and about 75 degrees. Enjoy the photos and the videos!




Air Force mascot falcon dawning his own helmet. For some reason, I do not believe the ones out in the wild wear one......

A B-17 all chromo-fied....


News media estimated 10,000-15,000 on hand....



World renown Patty Wagstaff on hand, has to be the greatest air show, female pilot ever to come to be...unreal at 56 years young!


Our lil friends Chris and his son, Adam, getting Patty's autograph...




A MIG 17, locally based, so we get to see him practice regularly...



Patty, inverted, picks up a ribbon with her tail that is being held by her staff center runway..




Patty tumbles across the runway before pulling straight up and returning back for another pass...




Air Force F18 buzzes down the runway before pulling straight up with both afterburners roaring..



Navy F16 circles back right at us and then banks to the South, no doubt directly over our house...guess Shelly got to enjoy the noise as well......
