AIR SHOW

And who says that cool things don't happen in Rexburg?! Last Saturday Rexburg held its annual air show and I must say that I was a little skeptical as to whether or not it would be worth going to or not. Let me tell you, it was well worth it! They had a ton of WWII fighter planes, bombers, and other stunt planes that were just incredible! All of them were in flying condition and all of them at one time or another were putting on a show in the air. There was one guy who was absolutely nuts as he purposely made his plane start falling apart in the air as part of a stunt. He had us all fooled. First, part of his right wing fell off while he was way up in the air and he came spiraling down to the ground and we all thought that we were going to see some insane crash but that was all part of the act. He pulled right out of it right before hitting the ground and went up and made another piece of his plane fall off. This guy was insane! But these things that he was doing while not even having all of his plane intact was way impressive! Probably one of the coolest things was watching the fighter jet fly at about 600 mph 5 feet above the ground about 40 feet away from you. Those things move!!! Anyway, it was an awesome day and man did I get fried! I now look like a red tomato and was in pain for the first couple of days. It's all good now! Might I say that those old planes are so stinking loud! They literally shake the ground! Oh man, it was so awesome!
