We went to the air show at Hill Air Force Base this weekend. The weather was perfect, and the sights were amazing.
Below, Joe and Olivia are standing in front of a KC-135, which is used for midair refueling. Joe flew in one last week for work. He'll do a post soon.
As we were walking through the parking lot, we watched a little red aerobatic plane do its tricks.
For some reason, there were a few monster trucks on display, including the little one below.
When we got to the frontlines, the view of the aerial tricks was amazing. Below is Patty Wagstaff flying her Cirrus Extra 300S. In case you're wondering, I did not zoom in with my camera.
And then upside down.
Next, a C-17 flew over and let out a bunch of parachuters.
The guy below carried six smoke trails. We had never seen that many. They called him the chain smoker.
Below is the C-17 coming back.
Stroller girls.
We walked through a C-5, which is a massive aircraft. It felt like a whale had opened its mouth to let the fish -- us -- mindlessly filter in. When you look at the picture below, keep in mind that Joe and the girls are probably 50 feet in front of it.
We missed the show's climax, the Thunderbirds, because Joe had to go to work. Still, it was a good time, especially for being free!

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!
I've always wanted to go to this...next year, count us in! Looks like fun! (And what was up with the random monster trucks?)
What a fun day! You took some awesome pictures!!
What a fun little family activity. Mais would've loved this, maybe next time...
Cute of both of them in the stroller. I'm looking forward to hearing about Joe's ride. . . crazy!
About Timpanogas - it's 1 1/2 miles each way, plus all the walking through the cave. We started up at 1 and didn't get down until after 5. They let you up at an assigned time, which gives you about 1 1/2 hours to get to the top - with all the stops, we barely made it in time for our tour. I was SOO fun - but we won't go again until our kids are older - it's very steep and much longer than any of us remembered.
It looked like a lot of fun. If we were closer, we would have joined you. So thanks for the pixs. Kinda got a feel for it. Maybe they will have another in 2 years, isn't that the hope? Can't wait to hear from JOe and his mid air fueling journey! :)
Jealous! That was one of our favorite things to do in the area! It's such a patriotic, amazing experience.
