We found out about the air show quite by accident. On Saturday morning (day of) Aaron happened to go to ksl.com, and on their recent stories list was a piece about the air show from the night before. At least we found out about it in advance this time! We have never gone because we usually don't find out about it until during or after the event, and we typically have other things going on. This day was no different, but we squeezed it in and I'm glad we did.
We spent about an hour walking through, looking at the planes and taking pictures. It was hot, but there was a good turnout in both planes and spectators.
The first thing we saw as we walked onto the airport was the 'path' of painted airplanes. We followed the little yellow airplanes and they led us to all there was to see.
Zeke really liked this one. Not sure why, but he specifically told us 'I like this one.'
Team OK3Air. I've heard this one buzzing around and seen it doing pattern flying but never knew it was an 'official' team plane.
Aaron got to fly this very plane about 2 years ago when we did a discovery flight, which is basically the introduction to flight school. We decided not to do the classes because we couldn't afford it, but after being around all of these planes Aaron is strongly reconsidering the idea of getting his pilot's license.
Love the green plane.
The Chinese plane featured in the story we watched on ksl. Here it is taxiing in from a flight. We were right next to it as it parked.
T-28 Trojan, one of Aaron's favorites.
Love the small jets. Zeke says this one is like Siddeley from Cars 2.
Great scenery and cool planes means we got some nice in-flight pictures.
Zeke was sad that we left without getting in a plane. Hopefully next year we will have time to linger a little bit and wait in the long lines of people waiting to look inside a warbird!
