Sun n Fun Fly-in "2010"

Every year about this same time,
we have the pleasure of enjoying the Fly-In,
right here in the small (well, not anymore) city of Lakeland,
where pilots with their planes come from all over the
world for us to enjoy :) The talent of these pilots are amazing!!

The LOUD rumbling of the jet engines are one of our favorite parts.
Gabriel and Jon.

Christiana and Liv enjoying the show.
One full week of amazing sights.
The Thunderbirds in their F-16 Fighting Falcons were
one of our favorites.
These planes fly so close together, it's scary and incredible to watch.
The wing planes follow the lead plane, only by focusing on the
wings of the lead plane. If the lead plane gets in trouble, so do
the wing planes.
The dragster with a rocket engine.
It gets up to 150 mph in a few seconds.

The dragster giving us a "fire" show.






The "Helicopter" shooting fireworks.
Awesome Show
If you're in these parts next year, about this same time,
it's worth seeing.
Quote of the Day:
A perfectionist is one who takes great pains-
and gives them to other people :)

I love the pictures, esp. the first two.

We had an "Air show" by us about 2 or 3 years ago. It was SO amazing! (I agree that its a bit scary seeing them fly so close together.) Those people have talent!

Great pics! Love y'all!!



Love,
Agee
