a u.s. airshow
the joint service open house 2005 air show at andrews airforce base. we were searched miles off the base and then bused onto it. bush also made an unexpected departure in air force 1. a day of high security..
and patriotism

the memphis belle - the first heavy bomber to complete 25 missions in WWII and return without losing a single crew member..
...
a heritage flight consisting of (from top clockwise) F-15 Eagle, F-86, F-4, and A-10 Thunderbolt..
the B-2 Spirit - only 20 of these were produced
"the Thunderbirds" F16 demonstration squadron
the stealthly F-117 Nighthawk
the B-52 Stratofortress
and the AV-8B Harrier doing a bit of backwards flying
