Spirit Of Flight 1

[Jakemaster]

First of MANY pictures from the Spirit of Flight Airshow today.  These are gona be posted in no particular order.

The weather this morning was horrendous.  We left at around 11 to go to the show, then stopped for luch in horrible rain.  When we got to the airport, it was raining, couldy, and windy.  So, they let us walk around the museum hangers for a while until around 1:30 when they started to move planes out of the hangers for the show as the weather cleared.  Around 2:30 or so it was a BEAUTIFUL day, nice and clear, sunny, and very temperate.  So, they started the show

Let me remind you these arent in any specific order, theres more from inside and some stuff will seem out of place lol

How far we have come, a link trainer

Only got to see one blue angel, and F-8F Bearcat in the museum hanger

Now THIS is an engine!  Pratt and Whitney R-4380 radial

Museum has very few jets (two I believe) this Mig 21(?) and a BIG Hustler (no pics of the Hustler, its too big)

Ozzy should like this, merlin!  (BTW theres a few pics of the museums spit in the hanger and of another one flown in for the show)


Enjoy!  Comments welcome, and more to come soon!

this Mig 21(?)

Yep that's a MiG-21... 2nd generation and most likely from Poland

That Mig needs a good dusting but you can see where Clint Eastwoods costume in Firefox came from
