I love air shows. I've been to them at Vanderhoof,BC. Abbotsford,BC. And all over the States.

I've been to the Air Races in Reno. I was lucky enough to have met Chuck Yeager there in 2001.

But, having a father that worked at Hill AFB for 34 years was the best.

I remember during Viet Nam, and all of the air traffic at the base. The jets, the bombers, the helicopters.

I remember all of the air shows. My favorites were the F4E Phantoms, and the T-38's.

I remember my Dad going TDY at Nellis. He would take the family in-tow. We would get to watch T-Birds practice there.

That was the best...

BUT THE VERY COOLEST THING TO SEE? THE SR71's.

If you want to see the very last SR71C built, it's on Display in Ogden at the HAFB Air Museum.


James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
