Weekend - Part 2

 Rob Holland take-off! Fast and low! :)
 Simply amazing -- he's a fantastic pilot!

Last year, Rob beat professional fighter pilots from around the world in the "Four Minute Freestyle" portion of the World Aerobatic Championship -- taking 1st place in that event, and 3rd overall!  
That is amazing.
 The smoke trail shows his contortions... ;)

 Next -- a European jet team, here in the US for the first time.




Crossover

This maneuver was especially neat-looking, to me -- four flew in formation, while a fifth jet looped around them!
Another look at that
No, he isn't crashing into them -- he's just really close to them! :)


This isn;t the best picture, but it shows their lovely final maneuver -- bursting away from each other over our heads, while letting off golden flare-type fireworks... Beautiful!

And... it's Sean Tucker again -- this time, for his full performance!

F-22
This plane is simply awesome! And so loud that you can feel the vibrations!

Weapons doors open!

Old and new. I always think these "heritage flights" are so neat!
P-51  +  F-22

Now, what's this guy up to?
And -- why is this guy back?
Well, they're challenging each other to a race!
(the plane actually won!)

Parajumpers -- on the ground
A Mig!
This unusual plane has a propeller -- AND a jet strapped underneath!
He sounds so wrong when he turns on the jet!
Wing-suit guys, pre-parachute deployment
And now, Kirby Chambliss, a Red Bull Air Race competitor...
Fancy
Tired after a wonderful day watching amazing pilots and planes!

Next post -- the Ranch Rodeo! :)
