The USAF's Thunderbirds!

After nearly an hour rain delay, the clouds lifted ever so slightly to give just barely enough safety margin to afford the United States Air Force Thunderbirds a chance to show off their F 18's!




There were a total of 6 planes in the air, but due to the low lying clouds you usually couldn't see them until they were close enough to hear!








The skill it must take to operate with such precision in such a close position absolutely astounds me!


































They seemed, at times, close enough to touch them!







It was a pretty awesome first time experience! You can bet your boots I'll go again! Hopefully, the weather will cooperate more!
