Well yesterday my dad and I ventured off to NAS Willow Grove for probably one of their last airshows. It's one of the 33 bases scheduled for closure later this year.. Sad

Anyhoo, to the planes. Sorry for the quality. That's what you get when you use the Wal*Mart kiosk.. Undecided

The cornerstone of NAS Willow Grove, the mighty P-3C Orion.
...

Looking down the flight line..
...

Probably my favorite shot. The F-86/F-16 Heritage flight.
...

Chuck Lischer's plane. Siai Marchetti SF.260 (thanks Charlie Smiley)
...

An unexpected guest.. My dad and I were on our way for some fried chicken when over the hangers flew this beauty. A Red-Tailed Hawk.. looking for food. Smiley
...

The SkyTypers, making one last run before they have to head off to Long Island for a show there.
...


..more in part two.

Nice. I love the skyscape in that first shot. By the look of it, air display crowds are the same all over the world. Cheesy

Thanks guys. Smiley

Yes, Doug, it sure was packed. More than in years before too. It may be because there's less static aircraft this year, and people can't find shade under a C-141 and they're walking around now. Tongue
