But I think our favorite part was watching the Navy F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet. You want to talk about cool! We watched that beast tear down the runway at top speed and lift off right in front of us all while AC/DC's Thunderstruck played in the background. It was gone in the clouds in a matter of seconds. It returned of course and wowed us with fly overs and awesome speeds over 700 mph. By far my favorite part of the day. Now, Molly slept while we watched it warm up and taxi down the run way. She did not sleep however as it screeched by on take-off. But as long as I was holding her she was fine. Now, David could not wait for it to take off, and was OK at first, but towards the end of the demonstration he had had enough and was ready to get out of there. However, we could not have gotten far enough away to escape the sound of this aircraft, so he was out of luck.
To end our day we we stopped and got an ice cream cone for the ride home. It truly was a good time an I hope to go again next year!!

These two pilots were great...they spent a long time in the autograph tent and were very accommodating.
