air show

In case you are on the fence about going to see these multimillion dollar machines rip the sky into pieces, let me entice you.

I have a little history with aerobatics, when I was probably 25 I flew with the Navy's Blue Angels, doing crazy maneuvers that have spoiled me for life on roller coasters. As cool as that may all sound, my life experiences with plans are NOTHING compared to four year old Léa.

Speaking as a guy who's flown with the Blue Angels, I can say being in an airplane that is doing crazy aerobatics is, well for lack of a better word, crazy. This pilot films all of his friends reactions and they're hilarious.

In St. Louis, MO there were some Blue Angels doing aerial maneuvers, so a lady in a parking lot was filming them in action. Out of nowhere, she gets a sonic surprise.

Federal budget cuts are beginning to be felt in several areas. The air show at Barksdale Air Force Base might be one of the casualties -- or at least the plan to bring the Navy Blue Angels to town could be in jeopardy.

KSLA reporting that the United State's flying squad the Thunderbirds are coming back to town!

At least nine people are dead and scores more injured after a pilot participating in the Reno Air Race in Reno, Nevada lost control of his vintage plane and crashed into a VIP section full of spectators on Friday afternoon.

As April winds down, we can start thinking about a bigtime air show at Barksdale. As an Air Force brat I love anything to do with Barksdale. I sure do wish I still had base privileges!
