Snapshot Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Davis Monthan AFB had an open house and airshow this weekend, featuring the Thunderbirds and other aerial performances. I wanted to go yesterday but it was rainy. Today was beautiful, and a great day to spend on the tarmac viewing planes, demonstrations, Aerial stunt manuevers, and of coarse, expensive food and beer I had to sample the $5 beers and corn dogs And there is nothing like 100,000 people all trying to leave at once A group of our valiant military service men and women were honored for some of there outstanding duty and achievement. It was nice to see that they get some recognition. These pilots live to fly. They are very,very, good at it! F-16 Thunderbird Have you ever seen a semi-truck do 306 MPH? Strap a jet engine to it, and let it rip down the runway Marines and Airforce doing some simulated combat mauevers If you are the enemy, you do not want to see the business end of an Apache Helicopter. This plane looks a little strange This F-22 comes with its own personal bodyguard This bi-plane does stunts with a wing-walker. Shes got guts....and she's gorgeous to boot! A helicopter refueling demonstration C-5 Cargo plane. This thing is huge! The OSPREY Airplane/Helicopter , an engineering marvel! P-51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Looks like it was a great show. Did the P51 take to the air during the show? The P-51 did its own manuevers, and also flew side by side with an A-10 Warthog during a demonstration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
