Fly Bys

It's that time again. Wings over Miami Air Show. Kevin was hoping to make it this year, but alas, it was not meant to be. But that doesn't mean we haven't been able to enjoy a little of the show. Especially since they fly right over the house! Yesterday, as we sat on the couch, we saw the shadow (and heard the engines) right in our front window. Kevin says the pilot must have misjudged, because he was REALLY low! So we ran out to watch the rest, with a couple of other close fly-bys.

As I dozed off for a little afternoon nap with Katie they began the fly-bys again. So I decided to run out and take a few pictures. Got a few good ones. The two that came close (the top and middle pictures) were great. I don't know how well it can be seen here, but you can read the writing on the white plane (Kevin says it's a mig) and you can see the pilot outline on the jet!
Planes are cool! Last year we got to see a little of the acrobatics. WOW! They were doing nose dives, and lifting up at the last second. It was amazing. So we've had a preview all week as they did some test runs, and then two days of these amazing fly-bys.
