Aviation Nation left Matt and Ashley at Edwards AFB and headed to Nellis AFB in Lost Wages, Nevada. It was a beautiful day in Vegas for the Air Show and the kids thought all those jets were pretty cool.
The F-22 Raptor. It was fun to finally see one of these up close on the ground and then later in the air exhibiting its power.
The kids got to sit in the Cockpit of a C5 transport plane.
Kaitlin mannin' the Fifty. Look out Al-Qaeda!
Nicole was not too fond of all the Jets screaming by at 500 miles per hour. She coiled up in the Stroller and tried to avoid the noise.
My favorite part of the day was the Amazing Thunderbid show. These F-16 pilots are incredibly talented. They put on a great show for all the fans. Here is a short video of them performing a Barrel Roll in perfect synchronization.
