Honoring those who serve

Yesterday I had the privilege to attend the Aviation Nation 2017 celebration of Veterans Day at Nellis Air Force Base. It was an awesome display of US Air Force history, honoring the dedicated men and women who have served and sacrificed to maintain our freedom.

 

If you have served I thank you for your service and am truly grateful for all you have done.

 

The highlight of the show was the aerial acrobatics and precision flying of the USAF Thunderbirds. They put on an amazing show that was thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd, estimated at close to 100,000. This shot is an example of the incredible maneuvers they perform. Note that the number of the top F-16 is readable even though the jet is upside down. Best viewed large.

 

Thanks so much for your views and comments! Remember to thank a Vet!
