This past weekend I saw the Ft. Lauderdale Sea and Air Show at Ft. Lauderdale Beach in beautiful sunny Florida. I'll have to admit, the demonstrations were really cool. The trick bi-planes were pretty sweet to watch going through some really intricate maneuvers but the highlight of course were all the fighter jets that they brought out.
The brought out primarily fighter aircraft like the F/A 18F Super Hornet, the F-15 Eagle, and the A-10 Warthog. The Eagle and Super Hornet were really loud and they were buzzing the beach close to the sound barrier. You could even see the vapor trails behind them as they were pushing Mach 0.9. I was waiting around for the F-22 Raptor but it was too hot. Just as I was leaving I did see it near the beach and it was pretty sweet to see. Gotta love vector thrust being able to flip the aircraft in the air like a pancake on crack. I would say one of the best parts was seeing the B1B bomber. That sucker was HUGE!! You could feel that plane coming before you ever saw it. I bet the enemy can feel their doom just before they get a huge bomb right up the ass. Well nothing else to report on the home front, next week is vacation time oh yeah, probably going to post pics the week after if I have some time.
