Myriad aircraft were on
display on the ground, including jet
fighters and trainers, a B-1 bomber,
transport planes and “heritage” aircraft
such as the F-4, F-100, A-7, B-18 and B-17.
An added feature this year
was a pair of huge 30-feet-tall by
30-feet-wide Cox Trons provided by Cox
Communications that showed images of the
performance jets. There were cameras mounted
to the cockpit and the airplane wing. You
were able to see and feel what the pilots
saw. |

Farrar said the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan give special
meaning to the air show this year.
“This team is out here to represent
the Air Force. “The United States
Air Force Thunderbirds are just a
small part of the Air Force out here
representing those folks who are
doing the real work of the Air
Force, keeping our country free.”
Check back for
information on the next scheduled
air event/show as it becomes
available.
