Minot Air Force Air Show

I always wondered about the value of bombers... here, we see one providing ample shade for people.	Simulating a rapid response team responding to intruders	Darn... I forgot the name of the plane from the WWII days... a couple kids play in the gun turrets	All of these shots are from the bleachers in between flying demos... Joan and I saw a stealth bomber as we came near the base.

Snowbirds Demo planes	And a closeup	B52 in the middle, with B1 on left and a WWII bomber on the right	A b-52 opened up for visitors
A guy about to stand on the biplane before transferring to a helicopter skid in mid-air	A billion dollar sunscreen	P7080050.JPG	I know... a totally unimpressive photo of really impressive flying
P7080052.JPG	P7080053.JPG	P7080054.JPG	The WWII Mustang (impressive flyer) coming in after some flight time with the F-16
I've not seen anything like what this F-16 did in its demo flight	The two flew in beautiful formation	P7080058.JPG	P7080059.JPG
Approaching their parking areas after flying for us	My first... a clown plane, here scraping the runway with wingtip while the water cannon tries to "shoo" him away	...whose aileron just "fell" off	Some of the lines of the B-1 bomber
