Michelle's path

Last night as we sat down to eat dinner we heard a very loud rumble over our house. It wasnt the usual fighter jet rumble that we are used to. So we ran outside and to our delight we saw the Air Force Thunderbirds! Every single time I see these planes my heart races...! They are so FREAKING amazing! I want one...with the pilot too!

Kayla was in love! After dinner and first thing this morning she was pointing outside and saying "Airplane Airplane!" Yup...it wasnt too loud or scary for her! My tough girl....

Some pictures I took...but I didnt have time to change the camera's lens to get a closer view. Today I changed it and we are going tonight to check out their practice flying for tomorrow's Airshow. Kayla is going to love it. I cant wait!

Here is a picture of them from the newspaper article.

Here is a clip of the article:
Andersen Air Force Base will open its gates tomorrow so the general public can attend the first military-sponsored air show on Guam in the last five years. The Thunderbirds -- a team of the Air Force's most precise pilots -- will headline.

Chatter about the Thunderbirds' arrival filled the airwaves on local aircraft radio yesterday. According to a press release from the Air Force, the Thunderbirds will fly over Saipan today.

The air show originally was scheduled for last Wednesday, but was canceled because Tropical Storm 18W threatened to bring heavy and damaging winds to Guam. The storm dissipated in the final hours before it was expected to strike Guam, but was quickly followed by Typhoon Melor.

Melor looked like it was going to bring damaging winds to Guam, too, but also didn't.

Now that forecasts are finally clear, the Air Force is bringing the show back.

Here are the pictures I took yesterday from our front yard...sure wish I could've changed the lens on the camera. Dang it.
