Blue Angels flying high at the Oshkosh Air Show!

Blue Angels, WWII historical planes, aerobatics extraordinaire! The Oshkosh Air Show had it all on my first visit to this prestigious air show on Saturday, July 29, 2017.

Suggestion.... if you're visiting the air show, park in the Blue Lot! We unfortunately chose the Grey Lot and it's quite a distance from the entrance. There was a shuttle, but the line waiting to board was quite long, so Justin encouraged me to walk. Fortunately, the weather was good and we had cooler temperatures earlier in the morning.

We'd made plans to meet our family later in the day and walked to our meeting place and found a lovely tree which provided shade for most of the day in front of the Gift Shoppe and Vintage Airplanes. You'll see the tree in a few of the photos.

The air show began around 2 PM to about 6 PM with the Blue Angels closing out the show in the last hour. The aerobatics of not only the Blue Angels but the smaller planes, including the Mustang, were quite spectacular.

People around us came from all over the US. One photographer was from Alaska and we had a nice conversation about the Iditarod and our interest in the mushers both well known and not so well known.

Another older couple was from New York and this was their 32nd and 36th visit. The older gentleman was recognizing different planes and the stunts they were doing. I think he must have been a pilot, perhaps in the war.

I hope you enjoy some of the moments I captured and as I do, feel the pride and appreciate the sacrifice of our Military and all of our Soldiers both present, past, and future! I couldn't help but think of all the Troops my Angels @ Cindysbakingangels.net have supported over the past 6 years.

Thanks for stopping by and here's to more happy travels!
