Air Show 2009

If you have never been to the Air show put on at Hill Air Force Base, you are missing out. It is a free event with spectacular shows. My favorite (I think that others feel the same) is the Thunderbird performance.



This year I went to the show early with Scott O. Smith and Ziggy Peacock. We showed up early in an attempt to get better shots of the planes before the crowds arrived. I think about 100,000 other Utahns had the same thing in mind. Sometimes crowds can make your photos more interesting.



I particularly like the sense of patriotism this one emits:



This plane had no one around it because it was not part of the exhibit but part of the air show!





Clayton loved the smaller planes that were spinning and doing aerial acrobatics.



I really liked the C-17, it is huge!



A few more of those Thunderbirds!

The Hill Air Force base air museum.

I am falling behind again on events that are going on with the family. We are finding out there is a lot of fun things that you can do in Ogden Utah area. A while back we visited the Air Museum with my parents.


The place is free and there has to be something like 50 planes located at the museum. The planes range from world war II era to present day.



Clayton is always glad to see Grandma and Grandpa. My dad served in the Air Force so the Air Museum was right up his alley.



Seeing all of the planes past and present is one of those experiences that makes you feel proud to be an American. Sadly, Clayton's Dad was so busy taking pictures that he didn't take time to read the all the plaques. It is hard to read when your eye is pressed to a view finder.



I guess missing the history written on the plaques is a good excuse to go back to the museum and see more of those awesome planes!
