Hope you find it in you to make your way back soon. In the meantime, enjoy the summer!

I went to one of them back in probably '78 - 79 timeframe.  They had the concorde fly in for that one.  The most amazing thing I've ever seen.

The pilot came down the runway at about 100 feet with full afterbuner going, got to the end of the runway and pulled almost straight up.  Kept going up until he disappeared in the clouds.   The noise was indescribable.

They were giving rides over lake superior with the plane going supersonic at some point in the flight.    Good memories...  ;)

I have arrived.

It was pretty cool watching the practice runs today.  

We're driving around and here comes a F4U with a F18 right on his six, old Navy, new Navy...pretty cool.  They flew around the field glued to each other.

Weather's good and it looks to be a fine show tomorrow.
