Aviation Nation Air Show & Open House 2004 - Nellis AFB - NV - USA

[Erik]

In any case... I guess your "two rides" don't count those in jet trainers, WW2 bombers, and open-cockpit biplanes...

Shhhh.....  I think I have everyone convinced it's the 'lens'!

I just had a very funny vision of you in the back of a T-38.... with your 400 f/2.8L!

I think that would put it over MTOW.

"Now if anyone can name the driver, you get 10 points!"

No idea who it is but he looks like he dozed off at the wheel, you were better off walking

While on the topic of Sean D. Tucker's son Erik, a big congrats goes out to him for becoming the newest Star of Tomorrow for the 2005 air show season.  Look for him performing at venues nationwide next year.

I get two points for remembering you already told us who you were with!  He was a sweetheart though.  If I had a younger sister, I would introduce them in a second.

I think he has a waiting list going...I actually applied for the alternate waiting list to occupy the overflow...he said he'd call.  I haven't heard from him yet 'snif', I'm crushed!

Editing my pictures from Nellis I found one with the very short guy  trying to lift  F-15 nose....

[Roger]

LOL    Looks more like he's hanging from  the airplane... trying to hold on.

I think Roger you are right , the first one is hanging and enjoying the ride  while the second man was trying to duck and run....LOL

Every year Aviation Nation Airshow is a top show on West Coast  but this was the main reason I visited Nellis this year:

F/A-22A Raptor




                                                                                                                               

These and many more pictures were posted on my site in Nellis 2004 Picture Gallery....

Those shots of the Raptor show me why I have to attend more than one day at Nellis next year. The weather on Saturday wasn't great. It looks like Sunday was much better. My calendar is marked for Oceana in September and Nellis in November. Nice work, Dariusz! Happy Holidays to all. --Pierce

These photos are almost as good as being there to enjoy the show!

[Mr. Bones]

At airsidetv.com you can see part 1 of their report of this show. Can anyone tell me whether they are going to put part 2 online or not? I'm checking that site every day, but it doesn't seem to appear.

And you thought we was all done with this thread!  I had some time to go back and edit more stuff.  Here are some fairly clean uncropped images...
