Air show in Tucson

Post by Niner Delta » Sat Apr 14, 2012 10:23 pm

The local air base, Davis-Monthan AFB, has another air show today and tomorrow.
Ran out into the back yard a few times to see what was flying, the usual array of modern jets but only vintage war bird I saw was a lone P-51.
The best part was the Air Force Thunderbirds precision flying team, they put on a great show.
Especially fun when part of their routines are right over your backyard. :mrgreen:

On Friday during practice, one of the planes, not sure which type, accidentally broke the sound barrier over downtown Tucson.
The Air Force is sending out inspectors to check out and pay for all the broken windows and other damages. Oops! :cool:
The same day the RAF sent a couple of Tornados to check out a helicopter and they broke the sound barrier too.
But at least they had permission. :mrgreen:

Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.
