MacDill AFB AirFest 2009

While I was in Florida this past week I was able to attend AirFest 2009 at the MacDill AFB. AirFest is a great free event open to the public. This year the Thunderbirds were the highlight of the show. There was an incredible turn out, so many people went that the base quickly reached capacity and late comers found themselves parking off base walking in. Unfortunately I was one of those late comers and ended up walking nearly two miles just to get to the show. At the conclusion of the show I was pleasantly surprised to see the Thunderbirds stick around and sign autographs for nearly thirty minutes. I even got a few myself.
