Winston-Salem Airshow

This past weekend was the 100th anniversary of the W-S airshow. Since it was at the airport right next to Scott's work, he got us hooked up with cheap tickets and VIP parking. It was a beautiful day. When we first got in, I got really excited because of the cars that they had. Here is your classic Model A. It's for sale if anyone is interested...needs a new paint job.


My favorite one there, the 1935 Chrysler.

This was the very beginning when they had para-shooters come out of these two planes. One was carrying the American flag and the other was carrying the POW flag. It was too cool.


There were lots of neat planes. They did all sorts of tricks. There was one who had a lady walking on the wings and doing tricks on it. The funny thing was- it was her ex husband flying the plane! We even saw a bomber and a stealth bomber. But most importantly, we saw history. It was Honda's first public appearance with their newest Honda jet engine plane. It was a sweet ride. They had a lot of static planes on display (Scott has those pictures on his phone). He was like a little kid in a candy shop.
Addilyn's first encounter with grass.
I mostly hung out with Addilyn watching all the planes while Scott went with a couple of guys to check out the planes...you know...manly things :) It was great though watching the crowd and the planes.
Addilyn snoozing.
It was about 80 some-odd degrees outside and I made Addi some shade with my nursing cover, her stroller, and Scott's chair. She snoozed, played, and cried when an airplane scared her. (don't worry, that wasn't very often)
