Miramar Air Show snaps

The Miramar Air Show is coming to Southern California Oct. 14-16. These photos were taken at the last two Miramar shows using a cheap camera with a 3x optical zoom. This year, if I don’t get squashed by a bus between now and then, I’ll bring a 12x zoom.













The C130 below is “Fat Albert,” the Blue Angels’ support plane. Note the rocket-assisted takeoff. I enjoy this guy almost as much as the Angels.















Below is a multi-directional rocket launcher mounted atop a Humvee. The remote control for the launcher is in the photo at the bottom. It was just like a video game – laptop, control stick, etc. When the stick moves, the launcher on the Humvee moves. Good luck to our enemies. The “new classic” cliché applies: Only the liberal media can stop the U.S. military.
