Air Show #1

On Saturday, Jill and I went to the Joint Services Open House (JSOH) hosted on Andrews Air Force Base (AFB) [the home of Air Force One]. There were planes and helicopters out on the base, and lots of fun aerial demonstrations.

We're in the process of getting our pictures and videos loaded, so keep an eye out for more of what we saw.



In the meantime, check out this video [click the image above] of the final air show act we saw - the F-22 Raptor. The linked video is hosted on what appears to be the Raptor's official site: www.f22-rapor.com. We got some video of this while we were waiting for the bus. Although it was a long day, we were glad we got to catch this before we left. The other shows were very cool: the Army Golden Knights parachute team, the Red Bull helicopter that flew upside-down and did a loop-the-loop and the Red Bull MiG, the stunt planes, the F/A-18 Super Hornet, the A-10, and--of course--the Air Force Thunderbirds. But this plane seemed to defy the laws of gravity /physics / aerodynamics. Enjoy the professional video from the first demo at Langley AFB; we'll post our stuff soon!
