Damn, F-18s are pretty, pretty planes.

I agree, but it's hard to tell when they are flying 1000 miles an hour over your head.

Yes, but this is what sometimes happens when they try the "tailsitting" slow fly-by...

Holy hell that's amazing. The did a couple of those while we were there, but they did them with the landing gear out. I guess that was a precaution in the event he had to land quickly.

Yeah F-16s look like lawn darts, I never saw that before, now it's all I see. I always thought they looked like insects, which is odd because the F-18 is called the hornet.

We went home and had the kids watch segments of Top Gun (Jared has a toy F14 and F18) and they spent all the following day flying them around the house.
