Hello.
So the beautiful wife and I spent Saturday at the Battle Creek Air Show. It's become something of an annual event for us. 5 hours of beautiful sun and the marvel of mechanized flight.
One thing I can't figure out though; every airshow I've ever been to has 4-5 of the aerobatic prop planedemonstra-
tions, yet after seeing 1 or 2 you've seen everything they have to offer. Why do they need so many? Saturday was one of the worst. There were 5 different aerobatic acts, two of them flew twice and two of the invidual planes flew a second act together for a total of 8 aerobatic segments. I mean i can only see so many hammerhead turns and snap rolls before it all runs together.
Luckily the day culimated with the Blue Angels. I have now seen both of the U.S. precision jet teams, the Canadian team and the Italian team at various airshows and I have to say, the Angels are my favorite. Sorry Dougie, the AF Thunderbirds are phenomenal but there is just something a little extra about the Blue Angels show.
All in all it was a good day of airborne testosterone. Have I mentioned that I love summer? As usual, there are pics of the weekend at the Flickr banner to the right. As an added bonus, I will treat you to my first ever attempt at video documentation.

what a wonderful directorial debut!!! can you tell me how you did the video? i didn't know if it was that easy! ps. would you guys be up for a drive in movie in muskegon sometime?
I have a program on my computer that lets you import pictures and videos then splice them together, add music and transitions. It's a click and drag application. You just drag the pics and clips to the slots you want to put them in. It works something like Powerpoint. I just farted around with it and it worked out.
As for the drive in I think that would be fun. I'll check with the Missus.
