Air Show pics from today: Offutt AFB - By request...high res now available

I took the time to crop and resize everything so that all but a few are bandwith friendly. If anyone wants me to upload full, uncropped/unsized ones, LMK.

I'd set them up in a gallery format...but I'm tired. And lazy. Use the open dir to browse.

It's was a fun time

Don't understand the fascination with war machines and weapons. It's no wonder this country is filled with such peace hating trigger happy cowboys.

They're masterpieces of engineering prowess - and they're useful, too. We can use them, for example, to keep morons like you from developing in large numbers and undermining scientific and engineering achievement. Virtually every major advancement in technology this century has been driven by some sort of international conflict.

yea, what the heck is the scoop on top of af1? did they put a ram-air scoop on it or something?
if they put more stickers on it, it'll go faster than adding that

Agreed. We need to start embracing our feelings more and when some one messes with us we should just protest against their mean-ness. Problem solved.

BTW nice pics. Thanks for sharing.

I was there too. It was quite cool! Nice pics!

I miss the Offutt air show. We used to go every year. At the very least, we'd go to one of the higher places near where we lived and watch from there. It was only a few miles, so we could pretty much see everything without having to actually go onto the base. It was fun to watch the planes arrive, as well. I remember one time when the B-2 arrived... that thing was flying so low, it almost seemed like it was going to hit the rooftops. Pretty awesome.

Great pic's, but no B-29's.....................

Wow, now that's an oddity. Air Force One: World War III Edition. I don't know how I've avoided seeing it thus far, considering how much time I waste reading up on military aviation.

I had orders to go to Offutt to be part of the flight crew on one of those RC135, but got out of the AF early to take this job I have now. That was 8 years ago. Part of me wished I would have taken those orders.
