A Journal, with Pictures

On Sun­day July 8th. we attend­ed the Day­ton Air­show. It was hot, but not as hot as the day before so atten­dance was up from Sat­ur­day. As usu­al it was a great show enhanced by clear skies. There was the usu­al sta­t­ic dis­play of mil­i­tary, civil­ian and vin­tage war bird air­craft. The fly­ing start­ed around noon and fin­ished after the Blue Angles did a great per­for­mance end­ing the show late in the after­noon. The fly­ing acts includ­ed aer­o­bat­ics acts fea­tur­ing Gene Soucy and Michael Goulien as well as a wing walk­er. Lots of smoke and explo­sions with the ever pop­u­lar Tora, Tora, Tora. The Misty Blues did both a open­ing Amer­i­can flag drop and their full team jump. There were a num­ber of war birds in the air includ­ing a Navy A‑4B, P‑51, F‑4 Phan­tom, and Sea Harrier.The Blue Angles were the fea­ture attrac­tion and they not dis­ap­point. It was a great show again in 2012.

The air­show capped off a very busy week that would­n’t have been prac­ti­cal with­out our trusty Cir­rus. Lots of fam­i­ly, fly­ing, fly­ing friends and avi­a­tion. Great week!
