Got there in time to see the warbirds airshow, they had some pretty formations of aircraft flying around, then we saw the stunt flyers in their lightweight pipers and such, finally followed up by the Jet Fighters, like the F-14. Going back tomorrow to see the F-22 Raptor. On the way out I noticed some burnout cars in the parking lot.

From the news I learned 24 cars singed, 15 totally destroyed. It was a lowrider Mazda parking out there on the tall dry grass that started the whole thing. We need some bloody rain bad.

my mom wondered what happened... they were watching the planes from her place when they heard a boom and the planes stopped. She thought one had blown up but there was nothing said about that. Guess that's what happened.

Well the main airshow only lasted about 30 minutes, then all of the warplanes landed. Today I'll be going out to get some pictures of the F-22 Raptor and post them up, along with the remaining warbirds.


EDIT: And oh yeah, that was a Maserati that caught fire, not a Mazda. So that's at least 80,000$ down the drain right there.
