This last weekend, I headed out to Fairchild AFB (about 5 minutes from home) for the Skyfest 2010 airshow. They have gone to a every other year schedule so I have been looking forward to this show for some time now.
It was a really hot day there with the temps being around 100 degrees. So I say it was miserably fun out there.
I took way to many pictures and am working on getting through them all and deciding which ones to keep and which ones to discard:(.
I will start out here with a few of the static pictures that I took. They are not near as exciting as the aerial display photos, but are all part of the event.
I hope you enjoy them and as always, comments are welcomed.

Not really a static display. I tried to keep moving:).
This is what we saw as we entered the airshow through a big hanger.
Rest easy, our Air Force is on it:). This kind of reminds me of Barney on The Andy Griffith Show.
This puppy was fast!!
I liked this little boys expression! Look at that HUGE airplane dad!!
These worked very well for shade!
One of my favorite fighters!
Kind of like a big shade tree:D.
The business end of something I have never seen before. All I can say is INCREDIBLE!! What keeps this thing on the ground I am not sure. You will see it again in another thread!
One of the performers. You have to love the P-51!! One you have heard one, you will never forget it.

The Rolls-Royce engine in the P-51, has a very distinctive sound, you are correct.
