The Great Minnesota Air Show!


"The Great Minnesota Airshow" was held in St. Cloud, Minnesota this weekend - about 1.5 hours northwest of the Twin Cities. The show featured the Blue Angels, some great aerobatic flying and tons of static displays. By far the most amazing show was put on by the U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor (above) - doing things that an airplane just should not be able to do!

Here is Luke in front of the Marine Corps' new V-22 Osprey tilt rotor aircraft, being used heavily in Iraq and Afghanistan.



Here is a brand new CH-6OS Knighthawk helicopter, a new variant of what I used to fly in the fleet.


Even the U.S. Navy has tractors in Minnesota!!!
