Hehe, another reason why I'm really looking forward to it. There was supposed to be some F/A-18s but they pulled them out at the last minuet.

Was hoping for an F-5, but doesn't seem like Northrop will be showing up. Boeing and Lockheed Martin brought over quite a few aircrafts. Airbus brought over their new big bird too, the A380.

Just came back from the Airshow, wow it was amazing! There was many more military aircrafts than I had imagine there would be. There were many Learjets, a few propellers but the military section was huge! There was a B-1B, 2 F-117A, 5 MQ-1 Predator, 1 Javelin, a few F-16, a MiG-29, an Apache, a lot of UAVs, a few helicopters, a C-17, a C-130 and even a E-3 Sentry AWACS! Got lots of pictures of that one.

Since I knew lots of the pilots there, they let me in the C-17 and the B-1B cockpit! I had never been inside a B-1B before. I wasn't allowed near the F-117A though, but I got a few pictures of it.

I was hoping for an F-5E to show up, but they only had a make up of it.

It started at 8am, but I came at around 10. There was many expositions in the main entrance. The flying display started at 2, and it was increadable. Got lots of pictures, and a video which I will post as soon as I can.

The Red Arrows were there as well! They did an amazing performance. The Patrouille De France did a great job too.

The Fulcrum was alone out there, but the pilot did one of the most amazing display I have ever seen. He did the Cobra Maneuver as well, and I got that on tape.

The F-117A was supposed to me flying as well, but apparently it suffered some mechanical trouble after take-off and couldn't complete its performance. The fire crew was on hand just in case. I got it all on tape too.

Apart from that, it was a great day! I took a lot of pictures, and I'll get them developed as soon as possible, because I know you will probably want to see them.

Yeah but that is only Patrouille Suisse. And did you get up close and personal to it and a T-38C Talon?

Nha, it is actually the sundowners. Its hard to tell from afar, but here is a close up shot

There was one out there and I got pretty close to it. I also met one of the pilots who was flying up there.

I just handed the pictures over to the guys down at my local store. They should get it developed soon.

As for the film, uploading it to my PC now. I'm getting rid of the boring parts, and adding a little music in some bit.

Wow, looks great! Must have been quite a show.
