Dallas Air Show

[Quattro Pete]

Attended the Dallas Air Show yesterday where the Blue Angels were the major attraction - those things aren't easy to keep up with in order to take photos, but anyway, here are some pics from the event. Don't ask me about the plane models... I have no clue. I just enjoy watching them...

Wow thanks for the great pictures, did you take them?

 

[Quattro Pete]

Yeah. Out of about 130 pictures, these are the only ones that came out half-decent. My friend probably took better ones. If he gets them to me, I'll try to post them as well.

A-10 Warthog (or Thunderbolt)
Cobra Helo's
F-16
Harrier "Jump Jet"
F/A 18 - Blue Angels

Not sure of the prop planes.

Awesome photos. I especially like the last one of the Angel's Diamond formation.

Thanks for the IDs!

A-10 = greatest jet powered aircraft ever!

Hasn't the Air Force, in their infinite wisdom, decided to phase these out?

 

[wantin150]

I'll definitely agree with you there!

The first one is a Raytheon T-6A Texan II. It's used as a trainer for the U.S. Air Force

The Biplane with the Red Baron pizza sponsor is a Boeing PT-17 Kaydet

edit: Forgot to say nice pictures and thanks for posting!
