My impressions....holy crap it's a crazy airplane geek fest. We went for 2 days and still didn't fully explore the warbirds or vintage areas. We did check out some of the warbirds but there were still a bunch we never saw. The Boeing plaza was cool with the first public display of the new fighter the USAF F-35. There was also an F22 doing a flight demo that was amazing. I did bump into one person working a booth in the drone area that had a FliteFest 2015 shirt on. I stopped and talked to him a little.
My favorite things I saw....the Screamin Sasquatch from Jacks Links was just crazy. I had seen an report about it but seeing and hearing it fly....holy crap it was crazy. Now the big question....when is someone in RC going to create a version of this. A traditional biplane with the addition of a jet engine underneath. Just crazy. The Harriers were pretty amazing too. I will say there is nothing as sweet sounding as the sound of warbird aerials flying overhead and the sound of P51 flying by on a high speed pass and that whine/squeal as it goes by is just too cool. I had never experienced that before.
Here are some pics I took with my cellphone for fun. I was doing a little work for my part time job at ProDRENALIN getting some flying footage to play with in our software. I will have some footage edited at some point I can share from the airshow. This is a link to my Photobucket folder where I uploaded them. My wife appears in a few of them. Her favorite was the Harrier. Gotta love my little windsock too. Quote of the week. "Harriers...turning jet fuel into noise"
