Wings Over Warrensburg

My husband and I went to Wings Over Whiteman yesterday to see the air show.  To those who don't know, Whiteman AFB is in Central Missouri, just outside of Knob Noster.  No, I'm not kidding about the town.  See:

We had a lot of fun, and I was smart enough (for the first time) to use a proper SPF - 70!  Yeah, I really did need it.  I still got a little pink -- I forgot to put anything on my neck, so I am a true redneck today.  I got a little color on my face and cheeks, but it just means I finally look healthy!  LOL

Unfortunately, my husband did not use any SPF:

So, we showed up at the base, only to get to stand in line to wait for the buses that would take us to where they had all the planes parked.

I get bored pretty easily, and I didn't bring a book along.  But, I did have a camera and an empty memory card.  So I decided a little stealth photography would amuse me and all of you.

The tattoos belong to the people who were in front of us in line.  I thought the panther was interesting.  The shoes were on a guy a couple of spots ahead of us.  Pretty nifty, I'd wear 'em! 

So after my stealth photography, we were about here in line:

After about an hour or so in line, we finally made it to the bus.  Standing room only with complete strangers, what fun!

It was all worth it, 'cause this is what we got to see for the rest of the day.

The Heritage flight was pretty cool: F-15 Eagle (70s to today), A-10 Thunderbolt (70s to today) and P-51 Mustang (WWII).  The Air Force has these flights to celebrate their 60+ year history.

Here's the awesome plane they have as you are entering and leaving one of the gates.

Funny, though - it looks like it would go faster. 

Finally, here's a picture of my happy husband at the Air Show.  Isn't he cute?
