Default Great pics step inside!

This weekend Evansville, In had their Freedom Festival, there was an air show, parade and many other activites. Tri-State Corvette Club gets to drive the pilots and ground crew through parade each year.
c6vettepilot asked if we could get some pics with the jets and they said be there at 10:00 am, and here are the results. The F-16 Falcons were from FW Hill AFB in Utah.

It was quite a thrill to be up close and personal with those jets! The Team members were as impressed with our cars as we were with their jets!

I forgot to mention another cool thing that happened today. I was leaving the airport after the pics and I came upon a newer Viper. I pulled up along side of him and he said you have one sweet ride. I told him his looked pretty sweet too and he could have eat my lunch any day! He came back with I dont know about that, then his girl said she loved Corvettes! Just a nice story.

Thanks for sharing these pics I work for Lockheed Martin where we are very proud of this and all of our aircraft.Someday I would like to see a picture of the F-22 Raptor and the new Z06 then you would have two of the baddest hot rods both in the air and on the ground together.
