I visited for the first time Toledo airshow this year. The
airshow continued for two days, but I went there only for the first day.
On that day, the weather was not good at all. We had clear sky only
short time in the afternoon, but it got cloudy by the time of
Thunderbirds. So, Thunderbirds performed a flat show. No loop,
no bomb burst upward. It was my only one opportunity to watch
Thunderbirds this year, so, I was very disappointed with the bad weather.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the airshow very much. Eventually, Airforce
One landed at the end of the airshow. (Strictly speaking, the
airplane is called as airforce one only when it is carrying the president.
The airplane apparently came to Toledo to pick up President Bush from the
election campaign in Ohio, so it was not airforce one when I saw it)
I didn't take a photo, though. I also saw some Boeing 727s and
DC-8s. I think I'll go there again to take photos of those
near-vintage airplanes.
Heritage Formation F-15 and P-51
P-38 Lightning
B-25 Mitchell. A little out of focus.
F-4U Corsair
P-40
Red Baron Stearman Squadron.
USAF Thunderbirds. They changed BGM this year. I personally
like the previous selection of songs better.
I tried to aim at the surprise pass again. This one is not bad.
And, I again got a close up look of afterburner. :-P
