Flying Circus

we went to the flying circus! It was awesome! you should all go!


check out my video! I actually took this myself, theres even sound! This is to make up for the fact that my little camera is too weak to take any really good photos of the stunts.
it was balloon weekend, so they inflated the Remax balloon right in the middle of the airshow, just to demonstrate how they do it. Naturally I was too busy watching to take photos of anything really interesting.

we met the Baron. His mustache is very decorative, and his good jokes totally made up for his bad accent.

we got to actually see the planes up close, peek in the cockpit, check the flaps and all, which is way more than you get at the Smithsonian.
the planes were very cool.

the stunts were extremely cool. there were rolls and dives and crazy maneuvers of all varieties.

the Widge loved it (he actually insisted on getting in this plane: "Widge sit there!" he demanded, so the pilot hoisted him in, and he proceeded to "fly".

it was hot, but totally worth it.
