Dobbins Air Show

On Saturday, Kyle and I watched the Air Show that Dobbins Airforce Base was putting on. It's about 2 miles down the road from our house, so we always hear jets/helicopters/etc flying over us all the time, but it was so neat actually watching what all those machines are capable of.
They were only allowing people in by bus, and having to go through 2 security points was making the line SOO long. Kyle and I decided to just drive down the road to go watch it in a field by our house. We could still see most of it, and it was just amazing! THIS
was the schedule of everything that happened.
The beginning of the show had all these parachuters:
This is when one of the jets flew right over us:
The Thunderbirds... 6 jets flying perfectly in sinc!
Flying away:
Here is a video.. they would do all these barrel turns then just go straight up into space!

Of course my pictures & video don't do it justice. It was SO loud when they would fly over you. The F-18 was pretty cool, and so were the Thunderbirds!
It was a fun day sitting outside with Kyle watching the show, we even got a little sun on our faces!
