Thunder in the Desert - Luke Air Show 2009
Yesterday my husband and I had the pleasure of attending the air show at Luke Air Force base. We are only a short 15 minute drive away, so attending this every other year show will be a must! The show features tons of aircraft on the ground that you can touch, climb inside and admire. My favorite this year was the F-22 Rapture demonstration, wow that is an amazing aircraft! Of course The Thunderbirds always put on an impressive show. I am amazed at the talent these pilots have.
Another favorite this year was the Red Bull BO-105S Helicopter, this specially modified helicopter can do 360 degree spins, turns, and flips, ever see a helicopter upside down? Wow that was amazing!
It was a great show, the weather didn't burn me to much. Despite five layers of sun screen I still managed to burn a few spots of skin! We were fortune that grandma watched Andy for us all day! My husband and I were able to have a day to ourselves! We also meet my sister and her fiance there, it was great! Andy would have loved the planes, but he would have soon grown tired and ended our day early, but I am excited to take him in two years when the show returns!
