"SHOW OF FORCE" - CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF AIR POWER!!!!
Featuring the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron - Thunderbirds.
Luke Days Air Show is a two-day event at Luke Air Force Base and one of the most
diverse air shows in America. It is also one of the largest public events in Glendale.
This year, Luke Days salutes American Airpower. Several military air demonstration
teams, some of the nation's top civilian air performers and air racers will participate.
Luke Days 2007 will salute the past, present and future of American airpower. The U.S. Air
Force Thunderbirds, several single-ship military demonstration teams and some of
America's top civilian air show performers will participate in this year's event.
Stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nev., the "Thunderbirds" demonstrate the
capabilities of the nation's fleet of modern, high-performance combat aircraft and
professional qualities of 530,000 Airmen who provide American air and space power
around the globe.

The U.S. Air Force's new CV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft will make an apperance at Luke
Days. Watch as it demonstrates the vertical qualities of a helicopter and the long-range,
fuel efficiency and speed characteristics of a turboprop aircraft
Air show fans will see hundreds of aircraft on display from a WWI biplane through
WWII-era fighters and bombers to our military's current inventory of frontline fighters,
bombers and transports, including the F-22A, America's 21st century fighter.

any refreshing alcoholic bevereges.

jets be flyin all over the place right now!

yeah i was watching the THunderbirds fly right now.

Yeah they just flew over my house

they're flyin right behind me :)

I dont know whats cooler to watch right now tho, the jets or the lightning, i just saw one bolt across the whole sky

Well out here in Tempe, the only cool thing to watch/listen to is lightning.

There's tons of planes and stuff there. I think we're getting 2 F-22s if it's not there already. Dodge is there too with a bunch of SRT stuff (they brought at least 6 Vipers). They're supposed to be doing a "Viper (Dodge) vs Viper (F-16)" race down the runway a couple times too.

My money is on the car.

Yeah the F-22 is going to be there and I don't know about the car wining it lost all 4 times two years ago to the F-16. :D

I Thought that the f16 was the fighting falcon

I Thought that the f16 was the fighting falcon

Yeah it is but the Pilots like to call it the Viper

Hey tree, see any F22s yet?

yeah I will be around I live on base! lol

I Thought that the f16 was the fighting falcon

Technically yes, but nobody in the AF calls it that, and you'll never hear it come out of a pilot's mouth.

I have heard pilot call them vipers before the pilot that was flying my jet the other day called it a viper.

im helping out TA/crash recovery right now(no more working food booth), and there are tons of planes/helichopters out there. saw the thundebirds practice, but it was all the same boring 5 stunts

the f-22's were late because of the weather, but i left at 6pm. the boss said they should be here tonight. but there puttin velvet rope around it so you wont be able to get touchy close to it

cv-22 is there. that thing looked funky.

i got to help wing walk -_- the c-5 and got a short tour of the plane inside and out. that was pretty kool :)

helped recover an ass load of planes so i guess volunteering isnt all that bad except i lost my weekend :/ o well, ill see yall there

I have heard pilot call them vipers before the pilot that was flying my jet the other day called it a viper.

Yup, their not too keen on calling it Falcon. I work for Lockheed Martin, contracting for the TRS NTC-L Simulator and Instructor Pilots, SNEADS, Program Officers ("Mullet" and "Razor") all call the 16 "Viper".

Just to clarify, pilots all call it the Viper. You'll never hear them call it the "Fighting Falcon."

Oh, and I stood inbetween the runways on the finish line for the Viper vs Viper race today :D First race was in Mil power against one of the new 600 hp 08 ones. Too close to call from the finish line. Second race was an 05 full prepped race car against an afterburner takeoff. Wasn't even close. AB thrust is pretty intense.

damn i wanted to see that race too. my friends were kicked off of echo just before that race started too. Did you see the huge ass line of like 60 vipers rolling around too?? a little to much IMHO

I was out there tonight watching the viper do hot pass down the runway today that was cool wish i could have taken my car out there to do some. :D

air show was boring!!

the only kool part was the f-22's came in this morning and i got to help out. I got a video of the first f-22 taxiing at luke!!! and a couple pictures. the piolts gave a couple of us a tour of the jet and we all bs'ed inside the rope while everyone was taking pictures outside lol.

i also had to brake ride the 56 OG jet and everyone i guess though it was a performance or somthing because everyone was waving and whistling and shouting. but it was leaking lots o fuel so we had to move it. funny crap. like thousands n thousands of people saw me brake ride while towing it.

other than that eh.. i got some pics if anyone wants to see them. i got them all on my phone and there kinda crappy, but there before anyone even got there so theres no people around in the pics :)

ohh kinda like the a10 warthog with the names... i remember pilots nick name for that was the low flying slow flying metal magnet.

I wana Ride in one of those Vipers, Lmao Hook it up tree!!! oh and hook my car up to :p

I`ll give you a call tomorrow man, so we can figure some stuff out...

got to ride in one of the new 08 vipers last night on the runway. pretty quick. Too bad the guy spun the wheels so much at the start. We only got to 150 mph with that.

i want to get my car out there on that runway :D

haha do it

I'm going right now :D
