Little Rock AFB, Thunder in the Sky Show

Dorian couldn't get enough of the planes, she didn't take her eyes off of the sky the entire time we were there!


They had a pink plane in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this is the Symbol it made in the air to honor those who have lost their lives, enduring it now, or have survived. It was a very touching segment to the show!
This is an A-10...and ridiculous capabilities!!! This was by far my favorite part of the show!



This (below) is a C-130 J Model, "Hercules". This is the plane that Niles will be flying on when he starts his new job! (not the exact model, just a newer one) He starts training on the flight line this week, and will be up in the air within a few weeks!!! Scary thought, huh?!?! Little Rock AFB is the "hub" of the C-130's. This air show was focused around the capabilities of what this aircraft can do in the air, and let me tell you they are insane!!!!




Dorian is DEFINITELY going to be an Air Show Girl!! She loved it! Every time a plane would come down close she started yelling "whoooooooohhh-wheeeeeee"!!! It was hilarious...she sat there in awe of the planes and clapped and yelled the whole time! She had so much fun!


The aerobatics part of the show was really cool! They had so many stunts preformed...It was definitely much better than any air show I have EVER been to!


This is a C-5! They are HUGE!!! This is what Niles wanted to fly on...but he is happy with the C-130's....Seriously the biggest air craft I've ever seen!


They did an awesome WWII re-enactment. These are the planes that the Japanese flew in WWII. Dorian was most impressed with this show. They had pyrotechnics and everything to go along with some wicked flying!!!
