It was awesome!!!
But I was really worried when that plane intentionally flew right over the field where the President was speaking!!!
For a bit, I truly thought they would shoot it down!!!!
Those F16 mean business, and it seemed the plane was totally and intentionally ignoring the warnings!!
Thousands upon thousands were there....
..but I'm sure our red rag newspaper in the AM will probably report a couple hundred or whatever!!!
Chillbump time when the President's helicopter landed right on the field!!!!!!!
I think that guy that flew an airplane past the President today is Kerry's October surprise. He proved that the TFRs around the president don't work, because an 85mph fabric covered airplane got past the F-16s guarding the area.
Kerry is a private pilot, and lots of pilots are mad about these worthless TFRs.
Kerry can paint the president as trigger happy and almost got a 70 year old guy killed for nothing. Bush needs to cancel all future TFRs immediatly. Obviously only close in protection such as stinger missles are effective. The puddlejumper proved it.
You can't un-invent airplanes, and if you locked down all flyers, the military would just let their guard down because there wouldn't seem to be a threat anymore. While some Osama wannabe builds an airplane in his garage.
What a thrill it must have been to be there. The only presidential rally I attended was with the wonderful President Reagan in Fairfield CT in 1984. His youthful exuberance belied his 73 years.
Did GWB talk about his plans for the space program at this event? Space is obviously important in that part of FL. In addition to it being a symbol of national pride, it means jobs.
I am impressed, I will tell you that. I have been wanting a digital camera, and it looks pretty good. I still can't believe how good it was at the action of the landing copter...lol.
Yes, he did. Buzz Aldrin was there and introduced him..said Kerry voted to slash Nasa and the space program and that Bush saved it and wants it to grow and save the local economy as well as a true vision to send men to Mars.
Thank you for sharing the great pics...good job.
Thank You so much..pass the good word on to a friend......!
beautiful - worth a ping to some ping list people.
Note the ready-to-roll crash truck in #33...
He does know how to make an entrance, doesn't he! LOL! That was one of the exciting points of the West Chester, OH rally. Seeing the helicopters coming in.
Yep
Thank goodness for broad band! SHRINK your pics prior to posting. The dial up folks'll probably appreicate it. ;)
I did shrink them from 100 to 50%.
How badly do you think that F-16 pilot wanted to splash that moron in the Cessna?
Wow!!! This thread has such inspiring pictures and it is great to see what it looked like live!
Thank you for those terrific pics. I am so jealous. Out here in Calif. we don't get the opportunity much. However, here in San Diego, I did get to see the USS Ronald Reagan dock! Whenever I want I can go and look at her across the inlet. I feel protected!
Thanks for posting these excellent photos. It feels like I was there with you. And my favorite part is how we are totally bypassing the MSM. They would NEVER let us see these huge crowds for the President!!
LOVE IT!!!
I'm on dialup and they worked just fine for me!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks SO MUCH for sharing.!!!! Your pics are awesome!
Happy that you were able to be in the stadium today. We had hoped to be there, but the tickets were gone by Thursday night. We were fortunate enough to be @ a Miami rally for W in 2000. Though sad we couldn't repeat, I'm thankful that there seems to be a much stronger following for W during this election cycle. Thank you for the pictures !
