Cherry Point Airshow

Sunday was the last day of the Cherry Point Airshow. This was the second time I have attended the show which is held every other year unless there is a budget cutback. 

The weather was cool, in the low 70's, and overcast. A good day for an Airshow. 

All of the marine hardware was there from helicopters, Harriers, Oprey, and the new F35 which will replace the Harrier. In addition to the aircraft they also had static displays of much of the ground equipment. Too much to photograph or describe. 

I think they demonstrated everything they had. Here an Osprey is put through its paces. 

This is what the office of an Osprey looks like. 

A few privately owned aircraft were there such as this Waco. 

The Aeroshell aerobatic team put on a nice show. 

This vintage B-25 was on display. This was the type aircraft was used by Doolittle in his raid on Japan. 

A favorite at most aireshows is the race between an airplane and a jet car. The jet car always wins. 

Berti's Bud Light truck was there. 

I even made a visit to the Morehead City in water boat show earlier in the morning. It was a busy day. Now I'm going home to mow the grass so that I can get back early for the Memorial Day weekend.
