F-117 and V-22 OspreyOriginally uploaded by mimichie. After seeing the Thunderbirds out practicing over Albuquerque yesterday, and finding out at the last minute Kirtland was once again having an air show, I had to go. This is the first air show they’ve had here since 9/11. Security was tight, but not unreasonable and there were some great aircraft in attendence. As awesome as the Thunderbirds, the F-117, the V-22 Osprey and others were, I think my favorite moment was seeing the P-51, an F-4 Phantom and an F-15 flying formation over the crowd.The military definately needs a boost in public morale lately and airshows are a great way to do this. I’m glad they opened up the base and show some of what they do.
