Thunder Over Louisville!

12 years 1 week ago #221753 by gjtoth
Cloudy, drizzling, COLD day on the flight line but I attended the military plane exhibition that precedes the air show for Thunder Over Louisville. It's an annual event that helps hype the Kentucky Derby in two weeks. The airshow culminates in one of the world's largest (no joke) pyrotechnic displays. Not just anyone can get on the airfield but, I know Charlie. He flies C-130s out of this airfield and he got me and my friends in. BTW, Charlie will be heading over for his FOURTH mission to Afghanistan.

Here's Charlie with a couple of my buds.


Promo card for the F-22 Raptor. There were two on display.


Most of the aircraft lined both sides of one of the taxiways. The F-22 were the only aircraft in a hangar.


The aircraft go from old to the latest & greatest.





Tailgunner position in the SB-2

The full SB-2 shot is my favorite! All are exceptional, but the reflection of the aircraft in the wet apron is wonderful!
