The Blue Angels

The Airsho came to Fargo this weekend so we decided to check it out. It's a bit spendy but we figured that since we've never been before, we should buck up and just go. We're so glad we did. They had so many amazing things up there to check out. Brett's always wanted to be a pilot (and we may still get him up in the air someday- they do do lessons here in Fargo, don't ya know) so he was like a kid in a candy store. The kids including Brett even got to buckle up in an Army helicopter. Pretty cool! We ran into our friends, the Mausolfs so we made a special stop to check out Duggy as well. All the kids got to go inside and Amelia [she's Duggy obsessed] even impressed Duggy's Oil Man enough to get up in the cockpit. Pretty awesome!

Besides all the planes to check out, they had fun activities and free gifts. Brett got to climb the Army Rock, the kids threw a football for prizes, got to do pullups and even got to hold some majorly cool weapons. AWESOME! Of course, we got Army bracelets and stickers! Also, it's always fun to meet up with friends. Even though it was by accident, we loved hanging out with Jen, Larry, Amelia and Grandpa. [We even got to see the Grays] We ate lunch, visited and watched the airshow. Some of the performers included:

•C21, Duggy, ‘FANG’ & Bill Stein Flyby
•Blackhawk
•F18 Super Hornet
•Bill Stein
•Strong Man Tractor Pull
•B-52 Flyby
•Strike Demo
•War Birds
•B-25
•Warbirds Recover
•Super Corsair
•F16 Demo & Heritage
•Fat Albert
•US NAVY Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team

As a finale, the main attraction at the Airsho was the Blue Angels. Luckily they gave kids earplugs and Jen had a few extras (we were slackers about that). These things are so loud and FAST! They were amazing and flew so close to each other and to the ground. Scary but impressive!

Here's some of the US NAVY Blue Angels Flight Demonstration we saw. The 1st collage is what my camera took but the 2nd is what it actually looks like if I had that amazing camera I've always wanted. LOL! Enjoy!

What a great show! We're so glad we went!
