Bucket List

As I get a bit more....hmmmm, how shall I delicately put this???....worldly...As I get more worldly (don't want to use words like "older" or "more mature") there are many things that I'd like to do. For several years I have had things on my list and I've been able to check them off....Olympics - check - Salt Lake City. Italy - check - June 2011, Alaska - Check - did the land and sea tour and the cruise. Today, the air show was something I could check off. I just love aeronautics. If I didn't get to darn motion sick, I think I might like the G force and the heights, and the intense speed. However, I am totally satisfied to see some one else in the cockpit with the nerves of steal, a strong stomach, and a daredevil spirt to pull the maneuvers that were preformed. There were the MX planes, the RV series, the diamond jets, the F18 - now that baby can pull some G's, and the fantastically awesome Blue Angels!!! I was able to get some good pictures..yep, between the iPhone, the point and shoot, and the big baby with the 70-300mm lens. Of course, there a people there with far bigger and better equipment, but it doesn't matter, I got some totally amazing shots. Even a bit of video, just to relive the excitement. I had a great time. Unfortunately, the husband, didn't fair so well in the sun, so he took cover in the shade, I'm not to crispy....LOL I was good and applied and reapplied sunblock. Anyway, with happy memories captured on memory cards, and visions of biplanes, world war II fighter planes, and the mega jets dancing in my head .... I'm happy! Airshow - Check! :D
