AIR SHOW

Nellis Airforce Base was putting on an Airshow so Mike & I decided, hey, it's free and its planes. We're in. We headed to the Base to take in the sights. There were some amazing planes. Huge, small, WWII, current, you name it. There were several Air Acrobatics that took place. I tell you, these men and women can fly. I was truly in awe.


This is the C5. Humongous! The front and back open up to load Hummers, tanks, and the tactical big stuff. Crazy!


I was talking to the airman and he said that the gun fires 750-1000 rounds per minute. Per minute. I asked what the usual trigger finger pull was and he said one would typically get off 5 rounds with one short trigger pull. kack,kack,kack,kack


I really wanted to get behind the gun on this chopper. I bullied my way past some 5 & 6 year olds and went straight to the seat.


The military started adding what they title the "Heritage Flight." There basically are different planes from different eras, wars, etc that fly together. It is neat to see the evolution of technology and tactics. This picture doesn't do justice, but I think there is a WWII fighter jet, F15 and some other planes. Mike knows the names, ask him.


This is just cool. A craft you would find on a naval vessel.
