Air Show

We recently had an air show here in town, sponsored by the Pendleton Air Museum. It came at the end of the bi-annual Advanced World Aerobatic Championship that was held here too. Pilots came from many different countries to compete and the United States was well represented.

The weather was great and there was spectacular flying to be seen!

The FA18 getting ready to take off. It was very loud as it sat warming up it’s engines and doing system checks. It did a low fly over.

This plane went cork screwing up, hung in the air…

and came straight down!

The winner of the World Aerobatic competition, Rob Holland, is finishing up a heart here.

It was a great way to spend an afternoon and I saw many homeschool families enjoying themselves.
