ya know what they say, rubbin is racing.

Thanks for the comments guys. Just doing my part to share history. It's to bad I can't give you the sounds that went along with the sight. They lined up the forts 3 abreast and flew them straight at the crowd right over the top of the willow run B-24 plant. They had a great gathering of 8th...

Now for meat of the show. What this year was all about. The eight flyable B-17 FLying fortresses in the air together and one B-24 Liberator thrown in for good measure.

Here's a few more of the f-18C demo, our T-6 contingment, another heritage veiw, and some of the many WWII vehicles that were there for the battle reinactment.

Here's a couple more of the HUN. They originally had the collings foundations me-262 scheduled but they changed it up with the f-100 about a month before the show. A little dissapointing it was, but I also love seeing the HUN as well. I've only seen it fly one other time in life and that was...

Here's some more. We got a single solo pass of the b-52 which is always cool. I wish they would have done another. Then we have the misty blues all women parachute team. This lady jumped out of the bomb bay of a b-17. Then there's the viper east demo team with the f-16 falcon and of course...

Here's some photo's I took at thunder over michigan this past weekend. I have moreto come.

Speaking of kids, my youngest had a blast at the battle creek airshow. It was really hot but he hung in there and had a great time.

I went to the local eaa chapter breakfast flyin two weekends ago and the owner of this bird was pulling it out of the hanger to tow it over to the eaa hanger and stopped to offer my son a ride in it while he pulled it. My boy said no thanks. I couldn't believe it, he looks at me and says it's...

Only the onethat I'm holding is mine. I want to get another large model but I'm not sure what I want at this point. Here's a couple of pics of why we called it off on sunday. There was a large amount of standing water on the runway which doesn't these planes all the well. Most of these...

We had our IMAC contest last weekend. unfortunately we got rained out on sunday and wasn't able to finish but for my first contest I was just happy that it ran and flew as intended.

Well i had an interesting weekend. Me and my sons went to the airzoo and got to sit in the wildcat, hellcat and corsair. What an experiance. I don't think my boys realize the significance of the aircraft they were in but maybe someday they will.

I guess that there is one advantage to living in the dieing state of michigan. I get to go to this show every year. Well almost every year. I did miss last year, hence no posting of photo's. However I do plan on attending both days this year.

I really liked the bridge shots. It's hard to find structures like that here in the states.
