Airshow 2009

We went to airshow at Edwards airbase, which was North of Lancaster, on Sat. We started heading there around 9 in the morning, and got stuck in the traffic for a LONG time....Got to the base way later than we expected. I think we took around 4 hours to get there for a distance which we could of arrive within 2 hours....1st stop after we arrived the airport was of course....restroom....

When we were there, they were acting the whole "Pearl Harbor" thing. There are the Japanese planes, and the fake bombing....

At the entrance....there is the schedule, and we were only able to make the last 2 cuz we got there around 2....and there is Irene :)

Billy looking lost in the picture....It felt like we were in some sort of war and everyone was running for life....a disaster with all the messy lines....

At the hanger, where they had the newest planes displayed....

There were people EVERYWHERE.....and this guy with the Japanese umbrella really amused me....

This F22 was doing all sorts of cool tricks when we got there...for a long time....but because it was to fast I really didn't take that good of photos since I was still getting a hang of the skill of shooting planes...

They had all the planes for a formation fly at the end....and here are some more clear photos of the planes I got....I tell you.....shooting airplanes with my camera while they were flying really fast was some kinda task....


B2 landing....

Still whole bunch of people after all planes were landed....

Billy tried to get some food while I was trying to take photos of the flying planes....and all food was sold out except pretzels and churros...and they both tasted HORRIBLE.....

Some planes on static display. Jacob said the 1st one here is Lillian's favorite....I had no idea 2nd sis is into planes....hahahaha


They were selling popcorn....funny hat that woman was wearing....

The line for buses heading back to the parking lot was crazy long. We took FOREVER to get out of the base from the parking lot too....

A photo of us walking in the desert....lol....the ground was really cracked...

On the way home, I got bunch of nice photos of the sunset and the cool shaped clouds...

Here is a photo of the dry lake bed which is good for plane landing....It looked like a lake when we 1st saw it....I guess the reflection of sand when it's super hot in a desert is kinda cool....
