Rocky Mountain Air Show This Weekend

[cofi]

Well, I went, and turned around and came home. 36 is under construction, the signs for the airport were gone so I had hell finding it, parking was like, 3 miles away, so I said fuck it - I'll go see the bombers in Colorado Springs. They're going to be there Mon, Tues and Wed.

info?

I want to get in close because I've got this thing about making videos of planes like this starting up. Not something you get to see very often, especially a B-29. Watching from a distance, that would be like watching porn on a drive-in screen with binoculars from a nearby field.

wont be there, didn't go today, but if it were me, I would just go park somewhere else slightly off the airport and watch from there. on the south, east or west side preferrably.

Round engines have more character and soul than any other engine out there. And startup is when they show it the most.

Yeah, I'm dying to see those giant B-29 props swinging through and those big engines belching!

I live right by the airport. This was the weakest show ever. No jets , no helicopters , nothing but prop planes and not many of those.
A big let down.

Agreed it is weakest show but you have haven't paid attention there are several jets I was over there yesterday at a parking and watched the show.

[Ah Pook]

Any pics from those that did go?
