I had the wonderful opportunity to spend 7 hours out during a 90 degree, 90% humidity day, with zero shade, sitting in the scorching sun, in the middle of a concrete runway, where you were not allowed to bring any liquids in and then proceeded to charge you $3 for a bottle of water.
It truly was wonderful.
How?
The moment the A-10 Warthog airplane fley out and dropped a “bomb” that exploded and sent up a huge fireball….. and my son who was celebrating his 5th birthday, jumped out of his chair, arms up in the air, jumped up and down and cheered the, and I quote him, “Hog” for making a really big explosion.
😀
The A-10s gun is so big, the nose gear has to be offset to make room for it. Truly this plane is more of a gun with wings than a jet with a gun.
People who do this have a chemical imbalance if you ask me.

In these next two, you can see the shock diamonds in the jets exhaust.
The Thunderbirds.
As always, very nice photos!
Thank you very much Erin!
Very nice pics. Love the A10, its my favorite plane and has been since I was about 6. Glad I have your old camera, its been getting a workout the last few weeks. Still learning. I had a few good pics from the show and will continue to get better with it.
Curt, thank you for giving my camera a great home 🙂
