Quick Pics of the Virginia Beach Air Show

The Geico Skytypers



There was a yacht out there bigger than the Navy ship


Navy F/A-18


The Eye In The Sky. The E-2


The jet that stole the show for me. The F-22 Raptor. The control on this aircraft is just unreal.





The Helo I work on. The MH-60


Coast Gaurd Search and Rescue demonstration.



Then Fat Albert's cousin (on loan from the Air Force) Earnie, a KC-130




Then the Blue Angels





All in all it was a great show. As I said the Raptor was just amazing. The way it can "defy gravity" will just blow your mind. Youtube it.

I love it when the Blue Angels are in San Francisco, they do flybys on the bridge and its awesome to drive alongside. Amazing skill!

Went to this air show as a kid once. It was amazing! I wish I'd had the time to roll out and see it this year. Maybe next.

Thanks for the photos!

ohthejosh- that must be awsome to watch them from the bridge.

Going back to these air shows now as an adult and having worked on helos and learning a ton about jets I can definatly appriciate it a bit more than when I was younger. It's a different outlook and truley is amazing to see the technology as well as the skilled pilots that we have today.

Here are some more great photos from the event on page one and two.

I love air shows. Haven't been to one in a couple years, but still love em. I agree on the raptor. Gotta love those semi sonic fly bys. Epic
