These guys rattled my windows all weekend...

Kicked back on the deck with a cocktail and enjoyed the show.
Willow Run is about 3 miles north of Rancho la GiG, fighter jets were doing maneuvers directly over the house. It seemed you could see the pilots' faces...  Shocked
Grizwold did not particularly appreciate the noise...
Hopped on the scooter early in the morning and went to WILLOW Run, and they had dozens of antique aircraft in the air at once. It was real cool, close up  cooldude




"Fat Albert" did a low, steep bank directly in front of us on the bike on Friday...

CHEERS

Better you than me, the show will probably be here at Selfridge AFB next year, I think they switch every other year. They scared the crap out of me a few times on the practice days.

Nope.
Thunder Over Michigan is at Willow Run EVERY Year.
Grizwold was a little nervous, but not scared...  Roll Eyes

  Just saw a piece on T.V. that Fat Albert is now flown by a female pilot.
 First female Blue Angle.

We used to have the Confederate Air Force down here as well. Became politically incorrect though.

Was thinking the same thing.  coolsmiley
There were dozens of antique planes in the air at once, flying all over.
I was underneath thinking, what's the likelihood of a mechanical failure on one of these antiques about now?...
