[The Commissioner]

Sean Tucker is an incredible stunt pilot. He takes "The Right Stuff" to a whole new level!

 

[LineInTheSand]

This is a great air show. I went last year, when they had the Thunderbirds. Great time, the F-22 is a rediculous aircraft.


Enjoy! Stop by the Coast Guard display for me and say hey.

 

[Bullet]

The Andrews show is always one of the best ones out there. Lots on display.

And LITS hit the nail on the cranium: the F-22 display is jaw-dropping! We've already given the Strike Eagle Demo team crew the warning that they will be the demo right before the Raptor. Talk about being shown up by the next act!

 

[raimius]

That is an excellent lineup! I wish I could be there.

(Talk to "the candy bomber" if you get a chance. That is a great story, and he is an interesting guy.)

So did anyone go? A debrief would be nice. The wx was beautiful Saturday ( unfortunately I didn't make the airshow, got diverted to Tyson's Corner by 3 teenage girls who wanted to shop instead..imagine?)

 

[LineInTheSand]

You'll have to put your foot down when they're asking for Tyson's Corner II.

 

[zfam]

You'll have to put your foot down .

That was my mistake!! I did put my foot down and ended up with a very cute pair of Steve Madden's...
Now I have to explain these charges on the plastic to hubby when all the while he thought we were admiring the F-22 and watching aerial acrobatics... I am in so much trouble!
