I like planes

[featherynscale]

Apparently, there's an airshow at the downtown "airport" this weekend. This means that yesterday and today, we in the Northland have been treated to afternoons filled with the rush and whoosh of the Blue Angels passing and looping overhead. Now, you can say what you like about the militaristic bent of the nation, about our belligerent foreign policy, and so on, an you can be as big a fluffy bunny moonbat peacenik as you like, but you cannot tell me that there is a human being alive that looks at military aircraft (in general, and the Hornets in particular) that does not, in some small corner of his soul, go, "Ooooooooooh. Shiiiiiiiny", and perhaps drool a bit.

Also, the interweb informs me that at this airshow, there will be a fellow with a mockup Zero that he cobbled out of several other planes, and a handful of folks flying, of all things, biplanes. They're hawking frozen pizza, but still. Biplanes.

I think I had a purpose to this entry aside from "I like planes", but shit -- I like planes.

I have been gone to Hays, KS *ALL WEEK* and do you know what the first thing that cerrunos tells me?

"Did you know there is supposedly an Air Show in town? I know, I saw the Blue Angels flying over the store I was working in!"

He *so* badly wants to go. I don't even know where it is...
