| Some of the Vintage Planes that performed at the Air Show |
Happy Veteran's Day. This is a great holiday here in the USA where we take a day to honor all of those brave men and women in the military who fight for our freedom. One weekend a year, for Veterans Day, my local Nellis Air Force Base, opens the base for the public to come and visit for free. This is a great opportunity for us to see all of the aircraft up close and many of them in action during an Air Show. All of the divisions of the military here in the USA take part. It's fun to see how extremely large many of these different types of planes really are up close. The men and women there to guide us through the planes are fun to talk to. Every year when I go I learn something new. It's an opportunity that you should not pass up if you are ever nearby an Air Show. I take so many pictures but here are a few to show you some of the cool things you might see at an Air Show like Aviation Nation.

Have you ever been to an Air Show? I sure hope that you get the chance sometime because it's a great way to learn more about what it takes to keep our military running. I'm happy to spend Veterans Day each year by learning more about these brave men and women that do so much for me.
Oh boy, my family would have LOVED this--big time aviation fans.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! We took our family out and enjoyed the cold weather. The show was great! We look forward to attending every year that we can.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes... that plane is HUGE! I wish we would have gone out to the show, looks awesome! Next year for sure!

We've been in Vegas for 8 years and have never been!! I definitely need to make sure to do it next year. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteMy parents used to always take me to these as a kid! Loved them! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about this show. I'd really like to go and check it out some year, but it's tough when it lands on a holiday weekend. I usually have a million other things planned!
ReplyDeleteI was so sad to miss this years air show which made it two years in a row that I have missed it. Such a total bummer because I absolutely love air shows and the men in their uniforms never hurts the eyes :) Your pictures are beautiful and make me miss it even more.

Love this! I remember going once when I was younger. I am definitely going to take my kids next year. That's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteMy son LOVES going to this every year. I'm like such a little kid when I go as well hehe. Our wonderful military never ceases to amaze me and it's crazy to see how HUGE these aircrafts really are!
