2009 Sheppard Air Show

Matt and I had a ton of fun this weekend with some friends and the Sheppard Air Show. We got to see some very cool plains and watch some fun stunts in the sky! Are friends Randy and Cierra along with her mom, dad, and 5 brothers came with us to the Air show! We had such a blast walking around and collecting SWAG...lol!! We got some fun stuff and Matt was like a kid in a candy store with all the fun plains! We learned about different plains from different times of war. We got to see a plain that was 92yrs old take flight! It was one of the original airplanes to take flight! We also learned about and saw fighter plains fly from World War 1 and 2, Vietnam, the F-15, F-22, F-18, B-1, B-52, C-130, C-17, and much much more!!! After the show we joined are friends at there place for there sons 1st birthday! It was so much fun to hang out with good friends!

Inside the C-17



Matt and his Pilot friend talking some other language about C-17's. It was so funny I had to take a pic. They talked for a good 20 min. They were so much in there own little world the pilot forgot about everyone else...lol!!

Ok I have to brag a little bit hear, I had no idea Matt's job was soooo important they put the names on the sides of the plains! I was seriously impressed! I knew that the crew chief was important but I didn't know they were that respected. The pilot even said they treat there crew chiefs like gold because they know EVERYTHING about the plain and rely on them sooooo much! I am so proud of my husband!

This is the C-17. They are like the Mercedes Benz of the C-130s. They are soo huge and sooo nice!!

The 92 yr old plain! Its top speed was 72mph so that way the plain would not be destroyed during flight!

This plain is so cool its technically a plain but can land like a helicopter!

I believe these plains were used during World War 2. I cant remember now. They did some really cool stunts though!

The B-1!! This was so awesome and so LOUD!!!!

In front of a B-52! I had no idea that a plain could hold soooooo many bombs!!!! This plain is so amazing to watch take off the wing span is as long as the plain! It doesn't look like it should fly!
