Passing the Flag

blackhawk and huey at temple airshow


I loved the flag hanging off the Blackhawk in the foreground and the Huey in the background. For me, these are two of the most important vehicles in the military, serving the same function but in two different generations. These get our men in the right place and take them home when they need out. They do not get much glory, but I am a softy for Huey’s, especially, for some reason.

And below, I have one more photo, but of the helicopter which receives much of the glory.

apache longbow at temple airshow

I was able to enjoy the Central Texas Airshow in Temple a weekend or so ago. It was ok, but I think my memory of grandiose airshows from my childhood set a much higher expectation than they could achieve. Plus…it just ain’t an airshow without the Blue Angels for me.
