Rockford Airfest 2006

[TheBladeRoden]

Yay, it's my first gallery here! Don't expect too much from me, though, since my camera is sucky by today's standards. There's a 1 second delay when taking pics and no manual focus, so it doesn't like taking pictures of fast moving objects against plain backgrounds. Fortunately it was a least brightly lit out, for I would have had no hope then. Yeah, but enough of me complaining about my camera.

Yeah, so I arrived a few hours after opening, so I missed some acts. Including my fav the A-10! :bash: oops

You will also come to find that my favorite words are "yeah" and "so"

This is awesome, I used to work at that very same UPS that is pictured. It's too bad that I had to move to Chicago to take care of my Aunt, because I would have loved to attended that show. As a matter of fact, my dad CURRENTLY works at that UPS, perhaps I will ask him if he knew anything about it.

I really, really, REALLY wanted to hear some A-10's engines work in real life. :(

I don't know if that's considered a mullet but it's still majestic. Maybe I'll grow my hair out this winter

Beat me to it. That one in particular is from NAS Kingsville, TX.

And this is a Hawker Sea Fury, not a P-51.
