View Full Version : Thunderbirds
Thunderbirds Air Show is this weekend and the planes/jets are arriving this afternoon.
What a seat I have! My office is directly under the final approach to the airport so the planes are almost to the runway when they pass over me. I can almost see the pilots in the Fed Ex jet every morning. What a view today....like having my own private showing. Very impressive.

I had a similar office once.
My friend Bruce the plumber dropped in wearing an all white painters hat.
We watched a plane fly in over us low.
Out of my awareness, Bruce switched hats.
He turned to me and said "Damn that was close."
The hat that he was now wearing on his head had two sets of tire tracks painted across the top. I laughed like hell. Try it Tom. You're a prankster is my guess.
Here's the view from my roof to the airport - tracks would line up perfectly!
Try taking a picture of these guys.....pretty fast! D'oh!!!!
I could hear them practicing about 20 minutes ago, thought it was thunder at first.

If they still do it the way they did when I was in,,,,,,,,,, they might put on a mini show the day before, or early on "show day" for VIP's .........
keep your eyes peeled...........

Just remember when they roar overhead that sound is the sound of freedom.
Ralph, they were flying all over the are in formation, then breaking off.
Then, a C-5 came in......Holy Moly! Huge!
