It's a bird, it's a plane...yep, it's a plane!

Luke had it's semi-annual air show here this last weekend and I was thinking about going, but didn't. My sister said she would have been interested in seeing the pictures, but I have plenty of pictures of airplanes. Some were taken at Lackland AFB, TX when I was in basic training, some at Sheppard AFB, TX when I was in tech school, and some were from an airshow I attended when I was stationed here in Arizona the first time. I'll do my best to get the names of the planes right! So, Kelly, here ya go! (Ok so, after further review, I don't have as many pictures as I thought. It doesn't help that I can't find half of them! So I promise I will go to the airshow next time and take more pictures!)

If you look close, you can see the F-16 on display by the flags.

Did you really fly in that plane???
These are pretty awesome pictures...I have quite a few when I was down in TX with you when Tyler and I went down...I can send them to you. I'm proud of how you can discribe what plane is what...but I guess working on them maybe helped..:)

I'm still a tad bit jealous you got an incentive flight! LUCKY!! and over the Florida Keys to boot!

Thank you
Thanks for putting the plane pics on here. Tyler looks so teeny tiny next to that plane. The B-52 looks to be a really huge plane and the C-17, whale shaped one, looks like it could have clearance issues if airports/bases were designed differently. And for the pic of you in the F-16...that's AWESOME!!! I would be scared to death to be in that thing...but kudos to you because you were special enough to get that flight!
