NC Buys Family: The 4h of July

This is the first year Greg has been home to spend the Fourth of July with us since I can't remember. We decided to go to Addison Kaboom Town. Addison is a town about 10 miles from us. They have a municipal airport that happens to have a flight museum. The schedule called for warbird flights followed by fireworks. We staked out a spot along the runway and settled in for the show. First they had biplanes up doing stunts. There was even a guy who parachuted off one of the planes waving the American flag. Then a group of various army and navy planes went up, but I was waiting for the WWII planes, because those are the planes I love. I was beginning to think that they weren't going to fly them for this occasion. Then we saw a new line of planes coming down the runway, and yippy, they were the ones I was waiting for. This group included a Wildcat, a Corsair, and a Mustang. But the best was still to come. Greg saw another group of aircraft, this one included a Vietnam army plan, but behind that was the B 24! We were so excited. It stopped right in front of us to wait for take off. We were screaming and waving at them, and they waved back, and we even got to watch them rev up all the engines. It was twilight by this point, so all my pictures are basically back lit, but it was so cool. One more group went up, these were T 6's and did some formation flights. After the show, we went down to Braum's, bought ice cream and watched fireworks from there. It was a really fun night.
