Air Show

Randolph hosted it's annual air show this weekend. It featured several aircraft both in the air and on the ramp.

Canadian Snowbirds doing some crazy stuff

Army Black Knight's parachute team landing at night.
The "Taj" and American flag at night.
C-5 Galaxy. Largest aircraft in the inventory. Can hold tanks, helicopters and even other aircraft. The nose folds up and it looks like a shark. Unfortunately they don't have navigators on them.

C-5 engine with the B-52 bomber in the background.

B-52 Stratofortress. Commonly referred to as the "Buff"...or...Big Ugly Flying F*ck. 8 Engines but can operate on 5. Has landing gears on the wings because they're so heavy. They actually flap in the air. I have a possibility of flying in these.

My roommate, Sanam, at the Navigator station in the cockpit of the C-130 Hercules, AKA "Slicks".

F-22 Raptor. The brand new stealth fighter. Everybody's new favorite airplane.

San Antonio Riverwalk.

Sanam's high school friends and I at the Alamo.
