SuperKungFu Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Was anyone here at the Edwards Air Force Show last Saturday at 10/17/09? If not, here's a few pics in case you missed out: I left at 2:45 AM...got there around 6 AM before the gates were opened, had some fun with this B-52 Got in....sometimes being "too early" is a bad thing...I had to walk 1.5 mile to the base because the shuttle buses weren't in service yet Well enough talking, here's the rest of the pics: Me in front of the 747 wearing an Eagle Dynamics Shirt :) Edited October 21, 2009 by SuperKungFu 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SuperKungFu Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 And finally me trying to steal a JDAM I also brought my helmet there, got a lot of attention there haha. This is what I look like while I play FC/BS. 3 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EvilBivol-1 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Damn, I was going to go, but didn't. Looks like I missed out. Thanks for the report, SKF. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules
SuperKungFu Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Yea since this was the first Edwards Air Show in like 3 years....the last one was in 2006, I was determined to go. I love the opening, Chuck Yeager and Joe Egle broke the sound barrier with two F-16D, I love the sound of a sonic boom in the morning. Some other highlights include the A-10 demonstration- a little prequel to what we will see in DCS: A-10C Both White Knight and White Knight Two was there. Tora! Tora! Tora! did a simulated Pearl Harbor bombing. and my favorite....the F-22 Raptor demonstration This was the first time the F-35 and the X-47B mock appeared in an airshow so I wanted to see those two birds. Sorry I can't upload everything and in full resolution, that would be 4 gigs haha. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EvilBivol-1 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I was there for the 2005 show: http://www.csun.edu/~evb58362/edwards/edwards-2005.htm - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules
SuperKungFu Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 NICE! I couldn't even get through the front door at the 2005 show....that's what happens when you show up at 10 AM....foolish me, so this time I left 2:45 AM and instead of the West Gate (where most of LA is coming from), I went to the North Gate- a bit farther but I was one of the first 7 people to get in. Thanks for the pics! I just wish I was there to see the F-117 fly before it was retired. And too bad the Blackhawk wasn't there at the 2009 show. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

SuperKungFu Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Nice. SKF - Is it F15 pit? lol thanks, yea it was an F-15 pit. I believe that was an ejection seat trainer, it teaches new pilots the sequences of how to eject properly. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
