They had the pride of the fleet at the Air show today. The F-22 was awesome. It can me flown supersonic or like a helicopter. Amazing technology. If you're a MIG pilot , this thing spells death in any language.

Also had F14 , F15 , F16 , F-18's , B1 ,bunch of transports and Cargo planes , helicopters , many stunt planes. Saw the canadian precision team but when I left about 3 PM it looked like the Blue Angels were a no go do to low cloud ceiling. I'm seen quite a few from the base and from my boat anchored off shore but this was the most impressive.

Oh man SH ,that had to be a great time. :D We used to catch the
shows at Otis and Westover.

Glad you got to see the F-22, unbelievable air craft. :)

May not be many around as Barney Frank wants to stop
production to help fund Health-care.

House and Senate has a different idea and just passed a bill
to keep them coming, but Obama may veto it. :smash:

Nah, we don't need anymore of the best fighter jet in the world in
these times. :rolleyes:

no North Korean missiles to intercept around here :huh:

we saw them coming into Quonsett while we were fishing around Pt. Jude on Saturday. Very cool!

Had a blast with my oldest son. Was a little loud for him though once the main show started. Will definitely be back next year.

Missed the best picture op when the F-22 went verticle on takeoff. Would have been a perfect shot because he's nearly still long enough to get a no blurr picture with the engines firing and the condensattion from the wing leading edges. I have seen a picture in that position before but thought he would do it as part of one of the passes along the runway. Next time I'll know he does this on takeoff.

Got a great picture of the F18

Got a few pics too...

Nice pics guys looks like I will be there next year.

Bring heavy duty headphones for the youngsters..there were a lot of kids walking around with their hands over their ears heading for the exits..they give out free earplugs, but I had a tough time getting them into my son's ears.
