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!!!
