We spent part of our morning watching people get stuck in the muddy roads. One guy pulling a 5th-wheel seemed to think that all he had to do was back up and take a run at the same spot to get through, then he would get stuck, spin his wheels, back up and do it again. Two other RV’s got stuck in other spots, one figured a way out with help from a jeep and the other had to have a tow truck and a huge green tractor pull him out. We’re hoping that it will not rain today and dry out before we are ready to leave.
We braved the mud holes and rode our bikes to the AirVenture Museum and looked at all kinds of airplanes from Wright Brothers and Lindberg to Rutan and Gee Bees Stunt team. As we were leaving we noted that a lot of people were streaming onto the grounds. We think it is because of the USAF Thunderbirds show this afternoon. I noted that I have put over 20 miles on my bike just riding inside the campgrounds for the past 5 days.
The daily air show starts at 2:30 so we pick our spot and wait for the show to start, then it rains! It is a short rain and the show goes on. The War Birds show off their stuff, a couple of aerobatics, the stunt copter, a comedy show, more threatening clouds and then what we have been waiting for all afternoon!
The United States Air Force Thunderbirds are a fast, loud and precise team of six F-16 Fighter Jets. By fast I’m talking 500 mph fly-by. By loud I’m talking cover your ears loud. And precision in every grouping or solo flight. It was awesome!!
