On Saturday Dad and Ma took us out to Selfridge Air base to watch an Air show! It was totally awesome. We got to go inside a refueling cargo plane and a Chinook. We saw all sorts of jets and planes. Then there was the stunts. When we got there a Chinook was dropping parachuters and a biplane was doing stunts. The Thunderbirds came later. The noise was incredible, especially when the fly really low over the lot. The stunts were so cool to see.

The kids stand in front of a large plane. Little did we know just how close we eould get to it!

Sam gets his picture with Lt Col Maybach. He was a very nice man, he told Sam all about his jet.

And Dad.


The kids liked the cockpit. The officer inside told them all about it.


This is the inside of the plane. It was pretty cool.


The tail.


This was one of my favourites, the Chinook.


We went inside that one also.


Katren seemed to think it was pretty neat.


The Chinook cockpit.


Here are the Thunderbirds and their stunts.

Notice the one is upside down!





This is not a liftoff, that is the way he flew across the horizon!




Oz and I with the "California Girl" ;D


Sam, shortly before we left.


Caeley and I took a picture with Marine Capt Miller. Cool guy.


Ah, a Humvee!


The day was really cool. I hope we can go again next year.
