RE: Market Friday Goes to the Air Show - Part One

in #marketfriday6 years ago

Yes i am in California. I think they may have cut down on shows out here at some point many years ago. They are having them again and i didn't get down to see it. When i was younger they would fly right over the house! That sounds really fun getting to get up close and go in the planes on the ground!

Sort:  

I know, right!?? It was much different years ago, even ten years ago. Some of the planes you could peek in but now the front line fighters. They are all promilitary (once again) and it is good to take advantage of that. :)

You just never know how the wind will blow!

I loved planes (commercial) over my house growing up. I lived in Connecticut, so we got some traffic from JFK and LaGuardia Airport.

Oh, have times changed! :)

I think in the 70's things changed around here and all the services pulled back on public displays. I grew up loving the space program and jets! Things like the X-15 remember that one? Now i'm going way back :) We used have seaplanes that landed in the water and you could fly to Catalina island off the coast of Southern California. I never did get to fly on though : (

Oh, wow! Things have really changed out there, haven't they? I'm from the Connecticut coastline and right out my back yard was Long Island Sound, the Atlantic actually We had the seaplanes landing there to go to all the places like Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Oh, it was a fun childhood!

They don't know what they are missing today! ;)

Hold tight to those memories!

It must be too expensive or something now. I wish i could have gone on one! :)
