Tinker AFB Air Show

Today was the bi-annual Tinker AFB Air Show!  Daddy and I got to see lots of airplanes, and I even got to go in a few of them!  The best ones were where I got to sit in the cockpit, this this Army C-23 Sherpa.


And this Navy helicopter!


Two of the airplanes had big shark teeth painted on the nose.  I thought this was pretty neat and wanted to go touch it, but was a little scared.  Daddy said he'd be right there so the shark wouldn't bite me!


After we saw all the static displays, we watched some of the airshow.  I was having a great time enjoying it, right up to the F-16 demonstration flight.  The F-16 was REALLY LOUD, and it really scared me!  There wasn't much Daddy could do about it, of course, but I just hugged him tight and held my ears tight.  I just wanted to go home!  So we started walking towards the entrance, but of course I saw another plane I wanted to go on, the E-3 AWACS.  There was a long line, but we waited, and when we got to the top of the stairs, I headed right for the cockpit, of course.  But I saw there were other people in there and changed my mind.  Now I was ready to go home!

We were only there for a couple of hours, but it was enough.  I was asleep before we even got out of the parking lot!
