Nice shots Tup, nothing beats a fighter flying overhead with full afterburner. That is unless 7 jets are flying over head with full afterburner.

The DHL 767 made a nice umbrella from the sun for many in attendance. The favorite for my friends and I at the show believe it or not was the C-17. After an amazing demo from the F-22, the AF boys performed a demo with the C-17. Watching a plane the size of the C-17 doing many of the same maneuvers as the F-22 was amazing to watch. The C-17 did a low and slow pass at 85 MPH over the runway in front of us, I could not believe a plane that size did not stall. The demo ended with a short 1500 foot landing. The C-17 not only came to a full stop in 1500 feet, but after stopping, they taxied the C-17 in reverse back to almost the spot the plane touched down, lowered the rear cargo door and drove out three Humvees.

Re: March AFB Show May 3 Photos
Why does everyone else's air show look so much better than the Barksdale shows? Tupi, you must have been in heaven there...nice comfortable temps and shade under a wing, watching those awesome planes. Seeing the C-17 do those maneuvers would have been worth the entry fee alone. Great shots.
