VERY VERY HEAVY PHOTO POSTING.


This URL leads to a photo essay of the 2009 Edwards AFB airshow. Some clips have an audio component. The photographic quality is very very good in my opinion. Many unique aircraft displayed and flown.

great set of photos-- awesome!

I love working Air Shows-- I've gotten to take part in 3 and would do a dozen more if I could. When you guys go to the shows just know that the display crew is probably having just as much fun (if not more) than you are! (unless it is very early and it was a late night the night before, in which case please talk very softly..... DAMHIKT)

Nice link!

Every time I see an SR71 Blackbird in person I feel like I should salute it! MAN I love that plane. Down in Dayton I saw one in a museum hangar with one of it's engines on the ground with the covers off and man it was HUGE.

What a beautiful animal.

We have a SR71 hanging from the celing in the "Kansas Cosmospher and Space Center" here in lil' ole' Hutchinson, Kansas USA.
I agree that it is one awsome bird.
Before it got "suspended" it was parked in a hanger at the airport. I used to go there every week to sell tools and could NOT bring myself to not walk around it and gawk at it every time I saw it!
What kills me, is that the thing was flying in the middle '60s when I was in the Air Force and I had NOT a clue it even existed!! (Of course, I was just an enlisted "Air Cop" in Oregon at the time :-D )
I kept thinking, "Man that sure is big just to carry two people and a camera!" But of course it carryed them at a rather awsome speed! :D
