More (F-18 and Thunderbirds) to come

Very nice! Nothing as happy as an airshow. Of all the nations in the world maybe a fifth have air shows, and in the United States ours are the very best. An airshow in Columbus Georgia (Thunder in the Valley) played a role in my interest in aviation. It was a magical thing, going so fast over the surface of the earth. I was particularly impressed by a P-51 Mustang and a T-33 Shooting Star. The T-33 or P-80 it was derived from, was not all that great a jet in combat as it turns out, but it was a great visual thing at the time.

In the first picture any one know why they jump out the side door rather than out the ramp?

Nice pics Woody. How are things going down in Arkansas?

Side door is standard (for Airborne) on both the C-130 and C-141 when I flew them. Prevents entanglement of both jumpers going over ramp at same time.

HALO , Seal Team and Special FOrces jumps (without static chord) often use the ramp.

pretty good, miss flying but I got a few balls rolling while I wait on the Navy.

In the mean time it's nice to have a steady job
