MCAS Miramar Air Show 2010: 10/10    
    San Diego, CA.
I traveled to San Diego in October to
attend the MCAS Miramar Air Show. As
usual the Marine Corps put on a top
rated Air Show. The Blue Angels were
the featured act. The Canadian
Snowbirds were also there. Other
flying performers included the MAGTF
demonstration. This included various
aircraft performing such as the Harrier,
legacy Hornets, Cobra gunships,
C-130 tankers, CH-46s, CH-53Es and
MV-22 Ospreys. Together with Marine
Corps tanks and various armoured
vehicles the troops put on quite a
show. The F-22 Raptor went through
its paces and put on an impressive
display. The F/A-18 Super Hornet
performed and then did a Navy Legacy
Flight with a WWll F4-U Corsair. The
F-16 Demo Team from Hill AFB
showed why it is still a top notch air
show performer.                                     
  The static display was a Navy and
Marine air power showcase. Lots of
Warbirds from all over were there in
overwhelming numbers. Very few
USAF aircraft were on display. But
then this is a USMC/Navy display. One
suprize in the static made it worth the
drive from Las Vegas all by itself. I was
shocked to see two British Tyhoons
parked in the static area. I shot these
Typhoons more than I could count. 1st
time I've ever seen Typhoons what a
thrill. What a great day.                         
  The USMC put on another great air
show. One of the BEST in the U.S.
Hopefully I'll be back again and again.   
                          Enjoy the photos!
