Saturday Amanda and I went up to Hill Air Force base in Ogden for an air show. It was incredible! It made me even more excited to be an Air Force pilot. A few friends came along to complete the experience (Gordy, Crave, and Mike with their girls). The Thunder Birds were the main attraction. They are the Air Force equivalent of the Blue Angels. They were so amazing. These two pilots would go straight at each other each going 1,000 mph and turn at the last minute, barely missing each other by about ten feet. It was crazy. Then one of the F-16's came cruising above the runway and went straight up 3 miles in about 15 seconds. There were six planes, and they would be doing barrel rolls and twists and turns in perfect formation. Each planes wing was about 5 feet from the plane next to them. I've never seen anything so cool.
It was really loud, so not everyone had fun. Ha Ha
This video is them flying in diamond formation. They were turning in perfect unison. I guess you just need to look at the video to believe it. Check it out. There isn't much room for mistakes in this line of work.
All-in-all the day was great. I took all these pictures and video by the way. Enjoy.
