Pretty neat to see the stuff up close and personal, isn't it? Especially when you can feel the beat of the Cobra's rotor blades... |

That was the first thing I said when it went over "STOP THE CAR AND ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS!" You could feel the beat of it....... great recruiting tool!
Then of course you have F-18s, P-3s, and C-130s taking off too.........
AND, since I am under 18, I got to go on "bring your kid to work day tour" and got to climb around the VX-20 planes (C-130, P-3, C-2, E-2, and the RQ-4 UAV), and the V-22 squadron planes.
One of the cool little trivia things (although not really relevent) was that the C-130 airframe was from 1962....pretty old (no offense to the older memebers of this forum).......especially for an airplane.
