Just slightly OT.. Awesome weekend!

This weekend, Kitty and I had the pleasure of attending the Thunder over the Blue Ridge air show in Martinsburg, WV. My hat is off to those that serve in all five branches of our military.

Thank you!

The show started off, with the U.S. Army's Golden Knights








We also got to see an A-10 Warthog strutting it's stuff...













At the end of the day, it was time for the USAF Thunderbirds!



Thunderbird ground crew.

We had a great day and will be at next year's show! These pilots and crews are just an example of all the fine men and women, serving their country.

The one Thunderbird went "straight UP" 3 MILES Yep, three miles straight up, now that is some REAL power. It was a beautiful bright blue weekend, very few clouds so being able to keep track of the planes as they flew was pretty easy.

There was reportedly over 30K people attending each day, they were shuttled onto the base by our school buses, but I didn't drive. I was there with our greyhounds promoting "greyhound rescue". Got a few donations stuffed quietly into our hands, as we weren't allowed to have a donation bowl set out. Best of all it seems like we got a couple of people REALLY interested in adopting, one lady was an EMS worker and she told us later that she called her husband and their application was on the way.

2 long WONDERFUL days. I'm glad Gary was able to be outside and take so many wonderful pictures & video to share. Just wish we had a better camera for this type of event.

Based on those pictures I would say the camera did a good job as well as the "Camera Operator" that captured those great images.
