The air show was awesome! It had many airplanes and most of them did either loop-de-loops or spirals, or flew upside-down. It was really fun to watch and I enjoyed it a lot.
Some planes flew in tight formations, while doing tricks. Occasionally the planes would separate and each one would do a few treicks seperatly, and then re-form in formation and fly around.
There was a big military tribute, where there were old military plans and military vehicles on the ground. This is a tank which pretended to be shooting, and actually fired a blank with the big cannon. They were trying to recreate what it was like during World War II. It was cool to see, but when you really think about it, it would have been very scary if you were in the real thing.
It's not all airplanes at the Airshow -- there are also a lot of tents that different companies set up to show their new products and technologies. Anything that pilots or people who like airplanes might like can be found. I tried sitting on a new Honda Scooter which was really cool. It actually wasn't that expensive, about $2000 (I think.) Maybe when I have my driver's license I will try to get one. It's a lot less expensive than a car.

Great post, Ben--that airshow looks like so much fun! Cameron probably won't appreciate this, but you've inspired me to make him do some posting--last week Cameron saw a goat being born and at the snake park yesterday we saw the Nile crocodiles get fed, as well as the snakes again. Too bad our camera battery went dead...rats!
