Once I heard that the air show was going to be in town I wanted to take the kids, and it turned out that papa Will wanted to go to so he came along. I remember going to airshows when I was a kid and I loved them. Of course living on an air force base made it a little easier.
There was bouncy houses and some obstacles courses that were done up for the kids, so I got Brianna a wrist band so she could just get off one and go for the another, it was so crowded that I had a hard time keeping track of her. We went and got some food and then went to start seeing the planes fly. Brianna and Preston eventually did get bored just standing around. Preston ended up falling asleep for about 20-30 minutes before the thunderbirds finally woke him up.
Of course there were a couple of planes were we able to look at. There were more but we never ventured to that side of the airshow.

Thunderbirds finally make it out
I can't remember what the commentator said this move was but it is their most famous.
I was able to get three of the six planes in this shot. I even had my eyes closed because it was move where they all met in the middle and being a spectator you just see a big explosion coming
Thunderbirds getting put away. Fun Fact: the pilot of #6 is from Kalispell and has been flying with the thunderbirds for two years.
more play time before we hike to the car.
I got a couple videos of some of the flights, but can't figure out how to post so I do apologize about that. Just want to give a thanks to ALL of our service men and women!!
