I will continue on with sharing photos taken by Jake. I have two reasons for doing this, one--I have so many of his pictures and I think they deserve to be seen, the other is that we are in a dull time as far as photography goes. At least it is that for me, since I am not going out much right now. Hopefully that will soon change.
Bear with me as we look at a few more aircraft. That really was a passion of his. He even took flight school and then quit after doing one solo flight. Part of the reason for quitting was that each flight would cost more money and being we had just started our family and I was off work, money was in short supply.
The Canadian Snowbirds put on a great display and we have seen them multiple times at various airshows.
Like I said we went to many airshows in Manitoba, some in North Dakota and even once to Abbotsford, British Columbia.
This is a C-5 Galaxy, a massive plane.
Here we have a C-130 doing a JATO(Jet Assisted Take Off) Burn. That is spectacular and when those jets light up, the plane just pulls out of there in a big hurry.
I wish I could remember where all these were taken, but this is a Vulcan Bomber. Another rather impressive aircraft.
I apologize for the quality of this shot, but seeing the USAF Thunderbirds is always a thrill.
Here they are flying F-4 Phantoms.
A little known fact. We got married on a Friday evening and on that Saturday , we spent the day at an airshow. I enjoyed these shows as much as Jake did, so that was not a problem to me.
