Air Show at Offutt Air Base



Today was an action packed day! We spent the whole day at the air show. The weather was perfect. Warm but not too warm...cloudy at times...and the sky was filled with the buzz of high flying jet planes. We toured quite a few of large and small planes that were on the ground. The boys especially liked the "big boy that transports vehicles" (innocent words spoken by a 2nd grader). Wow, Cool, Awesome, Wicked....these are all of the snappy words the boys used to describe everything from a plane, parachute, jet, helicopter or military personnel they saw today. Both boys were a bit overwhelmed but it was all topped off with a truely spectacular show put on by the Thunderbirds. Inches and feet.....that is all I can say. It is amazing how close those jets fly and so beautiful at the same time.

Awesome pics! I haven't been to an air show in so many years. This inspired me to take the kids.
