AIR SHOW PICS 3

Since it was Armed Forces Day, the military had a heavy presence at the show (lots of recruiting opportunities!).

To go with the military theme, here is a USMC cargo truck with tank trailer. During the show, people were actually re-filling their water bottles from the trailer! Lots of people also had their kids pose with the Marine for photos; one girl did it for her brother in Afghanistan.



Another aircraft was this Pietenpol Air Camper 1929 design airplane.





Details of the plane's construction. The owner built the plane from a set of plans. Total cost; about 15 grand. Try buying your next Learjet for that price!



The background on the plane's design. You can click on the pictures to enlarge any of them to read the details.
