Airfest 2009.

Sometime last week, Hector was looking at YouTube videos of planes, as he always does. Somehow, he found himself on a website advertising the Southern Wisconsin Airfest 2009, which just happened to be the upcoming Sunday. I was apprehensive not only to spend money on tickets to something I clearly do not share the same level of passion, but also to agree to wake up at 5:30AM in order to get up in time to drive the 2 hours and make it there by 9AM - on our only day off out of the entire week. But, somehow he talked me into it..

I have to admit that I had a LOT more fun than I had originally thought I would. The show included the Blue Angels, an elite group of pilots who demonstrate naval aviation in airshows across the country. Also featured were the Army's Golden Knights, a group of military parachute jumpers, the Navy Leapfrogs, Patty Wagstaff, Greg Poe, Michael Wiskus, Susan Dacy, a shockwave jet truck demonstration, and an F-16 Fighting Falcon "Viper" demo.

Our favorite was most definitely the Blue Angels. They were just so awesome. Our second favorite was the F-16 demonstration. Now I know why America is the most powerful nation in the world! The F-16 is a fighter jet that can go TWICE the speed of sound. The shockwave jet truck was also pretty freakin' awesome!

Here are some pictures from the show!
