Thunderbirds are go!

Today was the start of my All American Weekend.  We started with breakfast at IHOP (the International House of Pancakes), eating a ridiculous amount of food and revving up on caffeine to fuel ourselves for the day ahead.

Hickam Air Force Base held it’s Open Day today.

Dayum!

Americans know how to entertain the masses.  It was incredible.

The highlight of the day were the Thunderbirds.

I’ve always loved aircraft,  I could watch planes take off and land all day long. Seriously.

Thunderbirds, unsurprisingly, turned out to be something frighteningly close to orgasmic.

Tomorrow… barbecue and football.  Stay tuned.

    So cool… I grew up going to Schofield and Richmond air shows (have never made it to Nowra or Williamtown). I have two air show dreams: Farnborough and Oshkosh. Swooooooooonnnnn…

    I live near Richmond ( as above ) totally freaky …It is a small small world !
    I always look up to the skies too when the jets or any ‘aero’ goes over , we live almost under the flight paths of the RAAF.
