Looks like a lot of time passed between 1 and 3....(assuming they're from the same year and visit! ;))

I like the last one best. How close did they let you get?

Ok, smart ass...LOL; tapfoot; They are actually from the same day.. First shot was taken when I arrived around 9am.. and the third shot was taken when I left around 4:30pm.. same day...
That was as close as I could get to the planes...

Well, the last time I assumed I was informed that they were from years past so I didn't want to make the same mistake twice. I know how sneaky you can be (and slow to pp). ;)

Somehow I missed these. These are great shots. I would love to be at an airshow on an actual airstrip. The Chicago A&W show only has the planes flying, they take off from Gary IN. Did the Harriers do any vertical take offs?
