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.

How fun! I'm glad you all liked it... well, almost all of you :-) Those planes ARE pretty loud. And the Thunderbirds are basically the best. They fly over the stadium just as the cadets toss their hats in the air at the end of the Academy's graduation and then perform for the next 45 minutes or so. Pretty cool! I love the video and the picture you took of them in formation. I don't know if they mentioned it at the show or not, but Nellis is actually where the top new fighter pilots train--so it's pretty sweet that you saw the F-16s and 22s there in Vegas!
Wow, that is so cool! I love the video you got, that really is impressive. I think it's so great that you take your little family for fun outings like this. These are memories your girls will have forever! :)
