WAITING FOR TWILIGHT SO THE AIRSHOW CAN BEGIN.....IT'S ALWAYS PARTLY SUNNY IN NEW YORK!!!
THE EVENT WAS AN ALL DAY THING, OF COURSE MARK DIDN'T WANT TO HANG OUT ALL DAY THERE AND HAVE TIRED LIL CRANKY BOYS, SO WE WENT TO THE LATE AIRSHOW AND STILL CAUGHT SOME OF THE CONCERT AND THE OPEN EXHIBITS.
WE GOT TO THE AIRFIELD @ 6PM AND IT WAS DRIZZLING.
WHILE WALKING AROUND IT STARTED RAINING, BUT THE SHOW WENT ON AND SO DID WE!!!
WHEN WE GOT TO THE AIRFIELD WE WALKED AROUND AND GOT IN SOME TRUCKS & AN AIRPLANE.
SOME OF THE PLANES HAD CLOSED DUE TO THE CONCERT,TWILIGHT AIRSHOW & FIREWORKS LATER THAT NIGHT
HERE IS A VIEW FROM ONE OF THE COCKPITS.
NOT SURE OF THE OFFICIAL NAME,BUT TO ME IT'S A HELICOPTER OF SOME SORT
I THINK OF TOPGUN WHEN I SEE THESE PLANES... THERE WERE A BUNCH OF THESE GUYS BEHIND A SHORT WALL TO SEE NOT TOUCH ON THE AIRFIELD.
HERE ARE THE OLDER BOYS IN A TRUCK, MARCEL WAS NOT COOPERATING FOR PHOTOS!!!
WE FORCED HIM TO BE IN THIS ONE..THEY WERE IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK IN THIS ONE.
MATT WAS ROCKING TO THE MUSIC THAT WAS PLAYING ON THE LOUD SYSTEM..THE SOUNDTRACK WAS COOL WHILE IT RAINED, IT KEPT THE SPIRITS UP DESPITE THE RAIN.
...~...
FINALLY....THE SHOW STARTED
SINCE OUR CAMERA SUCKS, MANY OF THE SHOTS WERE OUT OF FOCUS OR WITHOUT PLANES IN THEM BECAUSE THE CAMERA IS SLOW...HERE IS A LUCKY ONE. MANY WERE DELETED AND MY NECK WAS SOAR FROM WATCHING THE SHOW AND TRYING TO TAKE PICTURES, SO I STOPPED
MARCEL LOVED THE SHOW...HERE HE IS CLAPPING
MARCEL LOVED THE SHOW...HERE HE IS CLAPPINGWHEN THESE 6 PLANES WERE APPROACHING THEY LOOKED LIKE A UFO
THEY WERE EASIER TO CAPTURE BECAUSE THEY WERE SLOWER & THEY HAD LIGHTS.
THEY FLEW AROUND IN DIFFERENT FORMATIONS AND IT WAS THE LAST PART OF THE SHOW BEFORE THE FIREWORKS.
WE HAD GREAT SEATS FOR THE SHOW, BUT THE FIREWORKS WERE DOWN TO THE FAR,FAR LEFT OF THE AIRFIELD SO WE DECIDED TO HIT THE ROAD AND WATCH FROM THE CAR....GOOD CALL...THE KIDS WERE KNOCKED OUT & WE AVOIDED ALOT OF TRAFFIC
