Default Re: Thunderbirds are here - WOW

The show went on till it got dark out last night! Earlier, (they said on news last night) a F16 engine swallowed a bird & had to land - but safely- whew! They will do it again today till 4pm, so Bill, c'mon over! There were 1,000's at lakefront & they do this every year but I've been gone last 3-4 years on this wkend. German fest is also going on at summerfest grounds.
Wouldn't you know, I was watering the yard & 2 flew right over me..they were refueling in the air. What a sight!!! Of course flying slower & low enough that I coulda snapped a good pic but NO FRICKIN CAMERA! I was there for hours this wkend ready to snap, but they went by too fast. There were other jets & some red stunt planes & I think fighter planes but I only know the F16's.
I will only catch it for a couple hours today - gotta go to Mike's house & some lucky person will love me for the parking space I give them.
