Hey Everyone,
The brand new Branson airport is ready to fly starting tomorrow and for the big kick-off they had an air show with the Air Force and Army there. With me being in the Army I had to go, and it was a blast!!!
We were on a five mile stretch of highway for an hour trying to get to the airport. Isn't wasn't bad though because we were able to see the planes from the highway. We finally made it in the gate at 1:46pm and stayed until 2:59pm. It was only an hour but it was a blast!!!
The Air Force had the thunderbirds, they had stunt planes (where a man is standing on top of the plane {see picture}), they showed what they did when they were taking down enemies, they showed planes that had been hit by something as they free falled to the ground, they let off bombs {see picture}, and they had the big black planes that are stationed in Missouri that radars can't detect. The Air Force also had a lot of show planes, they did a lot but in my personal opinion (and I'm not biased at all) the Army was better.
The Army had the Golden Knights; there professional paratroopers that go to every state and have a show. It was soooooooo exciting because starting on February 8th, 2010 I get to do that! I might be scared but I'm more excited after watching their show. The one girl that was there was a Airborne Combat Medic, which is what I will be after I finish training so it was very exciting to get to talk with her for a few minutes (and I got my picture taken with which I plan on taking to Basic with me as inspiration {see picture}). They were really good and they had all done anywhere from 700-4000 jumps!!! The Army also had the virtual experience blow up there which I choose not to go through since I get to experience it for myself soon enough. (See pictures above and videos below of the Golden Knights).
The tickets were expensive but it was worth it!!! I will post pictures as soon as I can!
