Anybody else make it to the Veterans Day airshow this weekend? Still going today but I made it down yesterday and had a great time seeing a bunch of old birds still flying. It was a bit windy and started out quite cold but warmed up and lots of clear sunny skies.

1st up is "Whisky 7", a C-47 that actually dropped paratroops at Normandy.(I believe from the 82nd if I recall correctly)

My wife & I went Saturday. Took a ride in a Huey & that is always cool to do (literally cool Saturday morning). Was disappointed the wind was too high for the paratroop demo, but can't control the weather. Hopefully I can see it next year. Nice show & we enjoyed it and will go again next year. I especially liked the Avenger, but my pics of it didn't come out.

It definitely was cool Saturday morning for sure. I think they waited too long to try the jump as the wind died down after lunch and then picked up again as it got late.
