Here is a preview from the last time they were in town. Fargo Airshow Saturday and Sunday. Everyting from p51's to B-17's. Lots of photo ops.

Here is a shot from 2007.

Man, I've never in my life wished I was in Fargo before. Took the Blue Angels to make that happen. Sigh.

I saw the Thunderbirds when I was about 12 and it was pretty much the most awesome thing ever.

Nice shot, please post some more pics after the weekend.

Saw the Blue Angels in Duluth last summer and was one of the highlights of the summer!

I've seen the Blue Angels in Fargo and it was an awesome show. This weekends weather forecast is for sunshine, should be ideal. One memory occurs early in the show when a solo jet streaks across the crowd at high speed. Impressive jet power.

I can't make it this year. Hope some of you will post pictures of what you see.

We are heading on Sunday to the show, sounds like the weather on Sunday is 85 and sunny. should be a "picture" perfect day. All Puns intended

The Blue Angels are awesome, we're fortunate to see them every year in Seattle. They put on a terrific show, well worth seeing if you get a chance even if the weather isn't perfect.

Not everyone is a fan though, some of these people are pretty tired of them and their practice runs.

I like them though.

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I think this pilot was looking right at me as he made his pass, we were in a boat on Lake Washington so I think it's possible...

Very tight crop:

Nice Pics,

I seen them a few years ago in Fargo it was like 95+ degrees, If I remember right.

Well the Fargo Air show has come and gone, and I have a terrible case of sunburn on my shooting eye. I guess, looking through my 100-400 into the sunny sky can do that to a guy when snapping 8 gigs worth of RAW images. Hard to follow some of those guys they are so darn fast. I will post more when My eye heals a bit. It hurts something feirce.

The sounds of jets is a missed sound up here in north Fargo. When we had the F-16's, it was a common sound. Even though these are Navy jets, it still makes a lot of north Fargoans stop and look up to hear the sound of a jet again. I didn't stick around town for the show, but I get a little bit of a sneak peak every year the show is in town since I work up at the base. The F-18 just happens to be my little sister's favorite of all the jets.
