Sounds like a great topic. We're having Wings Over Pittsburgh this weekend, and since I work near the airport we've been seeing (and hearing) fighter jets flying near us in formation the last three days.

You going to the airshow? I'll be there tomorrow and possibly Sunday as well. I've been hearing jets all the time both from where I work at, the ground division for a major shipping company, Denny Hamlin is our NASCAR driver plus I live 2 miles away from work, both here in Moon Township. Mom says, the planes have been scaring all my cats except for Boo (16) and Pansy (19, almost). I'd love ot have seen some action from where I work at but I had to work but I did listen to the Blue Angel's chatter on my police scanner (it gets military UHF) and my co-workers got a big kick out of the way they draw out their words in an almost musical fashion as the leader goes through the acrobatics.

Hi did you manage to get some photos together?

OK, I was hoping to get some preliminary pics of this year's show as the various planes were practicing but I have been offive bound at work, although my co-workers enjoyed the Blue Angel's chatter on my police scanner. B-) Still, I do my best to please so I havce couple of pics of the Thunderbirds from 2005's show. I couldn't make it last year but at least I got a few good pics because I live a stone's throw away from the airport:

Happy Birthday! How does it feel to reach the big 4-0? ;-)

I have an out-of-town guest, so it's likely that I'll miss the air show, which is a big disappointment. If I'm really ambitious I'll try to go before church tomorrow. If you take more photos while you're there, please post them. This is something I'll have to mark down for next year.
