Dayton Air Show

Had been to the US air force museum and the dayton air show this weekend .. and what an experience it was !  The museum in dayton is amongst the biggest in the country and features exhibits from the first flight flown by the Wright brothers to the latest B2 stealth bombers ... also saw the film "Spacestation" in the IMAX theatre and experienced a flight in a flight simulator at the museum ... also visited a couple of picturesque state parks near dayton on saturday evening ... sunday morning we headed for the air-show ... the show showcased some arcobatic flying by women pilots and demonstrations of  some of the best US planes including the very manuverable F-16's, F/A 18 Hornet's and the renowned vector thrust AV-8B Harrier ... the part I liked most was the race between a  plane and a 36000 hp jet truck capable of reaching speeds upto 378 mph ... and the truck beat the plane by miles ! the picture above shows ( clockwise ) the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the Aeroshell Acrobatic team and a father-son duo with the father driving the plane crazy while the son did stunts on the body of the plane ... overall it was one hell of  a show !
