Wow! It's been like 20 years since my parents took me to an Air Show. I can't believe time has gone by so quickly. Now I have kids and I am the parent carting my kids off to the show. Ever since the first time I was allowed to go to the Air Show I have been addicted. Something about jet fuel and adrenaline, I guess! For me, growing up on the AFB in Charleston, SC was easy access. I knew every time the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds were going to be in town. The other night I was watching television and Holy Crap! An advertisement for the Blue Angels was playing and I thought what a cool show to take my own kids too. I figured I loved it, why wouldn't they. So Sunday morning we all packed into the Prius and drove out to North Fort Worth to enjoy the festivities. When we arrived we were happy to see the impending storm had cleared out and the sun was shining threw. As we walked through the gates it was what I always remembered, all kinds of monstrous aircraft to tour, planes you usually only found on television were right in front of you. Although my kids were a little more reserved than I was, I believe they were just as excited. Especially when you saw there little faces when the first F-18 Hornet flew by. We all enjoyed the show, and I got to show the kids something that I used to enjoy and love when I was a child. It was definitely a win, win. *The image above was captured with a Nikon D90.Monday, October 26, 2009
