AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Monday, February 25, 2008
Well on the 24th of Feb me and my VIP friend X went to the airshow. And we got lots of prezzies. When we came back we were so bogged down with bags we could hardly move.
First we went to the waiting room where the OVERENTHUSIASTIC GUIDE Belinda came and introduced herself to us. Bit on the plump side. Ok. Fine. Rather on the plump side. No? Fine. VERY on the plump side. And so we went to the F15 Strike Eagle Stimulator. Man that was cool. It was the coolest thing that day besides the airshow. We got to step in the model of a real cockpit of the F15 and fly. Shot down two enemies and made a low pass over the airport I did. X did even better. Flew 8 m over the airport.
Then we went outside. Went into the A380's cockpit, we did. Damn cool. Sat in the pilots seat, where a few hours later our guide around the A380 would be sitting flying the A380. See, the guide was the one that flew the first A380 officially.
Later we went to check out the U.S. side. Darn cool, I can tell ya that. We also went to the Army part [Yeah, I know it don't make sense...what's Army doin' at the airshow?].
Later we went to have lunch on some balcony place. Then the real aerial display started.
First up were the Black Knights [BTW I got an autographed poster from them] and they were really cool. 'Specially the Solos-the Mirror one was good [where #5 flew upside down, just 3m away from the tail of #6]. The "Flaming Heart", though a bit well sick, was nicely pulled off.
Then there were the solo displays by the Yanks, the Aussies, Some N Zedders I think, and supposedly a Korean chap. It was cool. THe pilot of the F16 was from Pennsylvania. I jumped when I heard that word. [What? Is Winters piloting that plane?!]
Sadly we had to leave just as the A380 was flying. I got a nice pic of it though. Yay.
And the Overenthusiastictourguide was so fond of jason. She was swinging his hand around, carrying his things for him, talking to him happily...the works.
It must be 'cos he's so cuuuuuuuuuuuute.
There was a model of an American Soldier. Pity I didn't see the front side of him.
All in all, the airshow rocked and you should go and watch it.
Oh, hang on. Its already over...
