Do you like airplanes?
The Indianapolis Air Show is next weekend! One of the biggest around, pretty much everything from hot air balloons and ultralights to a B-2 fly-by. (Among the better-known planes to be found there, a B-25, a B-17 and a gorgeous P-51). Check it out!
I do hope you'll take a camera along. We don't get much of that around here.

Ah, but do they have Rocket Racers?
ReplyDeleteBTW, the B-2 flyby is super cool. I videoed the one in Tulsa with my cell. At a distance it looks like some kind of "bat-a-rang" batman might fling (but packing MUCH more punch!).
ReplyDeleteI hope they will do a warbird group flight like they did here, a dozen Merlins and big inch radials all fired up at once is breathtaking.
I love old airplanes. When I lived in Tulsa, I was driving along an heard a rumble from the sky like I had never heard before. Looked up, and there was a B-29 and a B-24 headed for the airport. I did go to the airshow, actually got to talk to the pilot of the B-29, a by-gosh honest CBI theater vet that had flown the things in combat.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'll be able to go -- the size of the crowd is simply amazing; it works perfectly fine if you're there to spend the day (or half-day) but isn't hugely compatible with carrying a pager.
ReplyDeleteNo rocket racers this year. I'm told the timing didn't work out. Eventually, though...!
I love the older planes; looked up one year at the Indy Hamfest to see a B-17 passing by, superkewl!
Roberta,
ReplyDeleteYes, the crowd at the Tulsa Air Show was frickin' HUGE. I went thiry minutes early and got parked an hour and 1/2 late. It too was an all-day affair and there was no way I could have been on-call and been able to go to the thing.
I got a little impatient sitting in traffic but I just kept repeating to myself "must get a t-shirt for Bobbi" ;)
Awwww. You are The Best Fan, period!
