Portland Rose Festival Air Show 2000

Portland Rose Festival Air Show 2000

The Air Show started on Friday at 11:00. Right about that time, something very very loud buzzed the house. By the time Robin made it outside to catch a glimpse of it, it was gone. Whatever it was, it sure got the cat's attention. This photo of a Blue Angel was shot later that same day.
The Blue Angels flew directly over our house. Talk about a front row seat.
Through out most of the Blue Angels show, four planes flew in formation while the other two flew separately.
At the very end of their show, all six Blue Angels join up and perform a spectacular ending.

After all six fly together, they come in for a landing one by one. On their way to the runway on Friday, they flew right over our house.
We hosted our first annual Air Show BBQ in 2000. It was a small group, but we had a great time, and the show was loud and spectacular! The planes were quite loud, especially for young ears.

Cassidy and Carson try to close out some of the noise with their dad Scott Alford.
Blue Angel number 6 comes in for a landing.

We're not sure what plane this is.
Carson found great interest in our yellow roses.

Cassidy and Carson were having lots of fun together.

Below is Robin's favorite photos from the air show. These show how close the planes flew to our house. If you look really closely, you can see Nick on the roof taking his own pictures.
