Luke Days Air Show! I had not been to a Luke Days since I took Erin in 2001 or 2002, I forget. It has grown quite a bit since then! We had to park a few miles away in some fields and they had a huge fleet of school buses shuttling people to the base.

Walking through a C-130

It was spread out, I am glad we brought the wagon for Brendan.

Not just planes

Headed for the C-5 Galaxy

There were lots of demonstrations and tons of big fireballs. I always put my camera down at the wrong time and missed all of the explosions.

The boys didn’t give a crap about the fire or jets once they saw that there was a little carnival with bouncy houses.

This one was really fast!

Really really fast!

Brendan panicked and tried to slow down. He ended up rubbing off a nice deep chunk of skin on his elbow from the friction. OUCH! Bill had to take him to the first aid station. Outside of having the painful owie and getting it treated, he actually thought it was cool to be treated by the air force medics. He showed off all of his scars too.

Trevor went on this swing ride at least four times while the jets zoomed overhead with their huge booms.

Without Brendan, he had to ride with all different random partners.

Running back from potty break while I held his place in line

We waited a long time for this ride, but then Trevor wasn’t really heavy enough to get his feet to touch the trampoline. It was disappointing.

We left shortly before the Blue Angels were set to perform. It took about 40 minutes to get back to the car on the bus. I am so glad we chose to go, I heard that it was 4-5 hours of waiting after the Blue Angels to get shuttled to the parking lot!! YIKES!! I understand over 400,000 people attended the air show over two days. WOW
