2015 Tuscaloosa Air Show

Had an awesome birthday at the good old Tuscaloosa Air Show again. This was my 4th time to go this event. I have faithfully attended this event since it started 2009. So get ready for none other than some very spectacular photos. The highlights for me were seeing the B-17, B-25, F-86, F-22 and of course the Navy Blue Angels!!!

Honoring Grandpa's memory

  • Well let's get started with the grand daddy of all bombers! This is the B-17 Flying Fortress!
  • This is the aircraft that saw action in both the European and Pacific Theaters of WWII.
  • This is the aircraft that ultimately crush the Nazis into oblivion!
  • My grandfather served as a gunner on this aircraft so it was definitely emotional to see. I learned this bomber actually saw action in Okinawa.

  • This is the aircraft that brought the first bombs to Japan shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
  • The bombing raid over Tokyo was nicknamed "The Doolittle" raid because of Jimmy Doolittle who led this during raid to strike back at the enemy.
