As most of you know, one of the "perks" of living at Camp Humphreys is living close....as in 20 minutes to Osan Air Base. We like going there a lot. The shopping is better, the BX (not to be confused with the PX...one is a base exchange and the other a post exchange), not to mention being able to eat at Chili's. I just found out yesterday that this Chili's is the only one on the peninsula.
Osan does have other fun stuff as well, they had the fireworks for the 4th of July. This weekend they are having what is called Air Power Day. This is an airshow. We went for a couple of hours yesterday, as you know the kids can't take much more than that. Creed had fallen asleep before we arrived, so was in his stroller for the beginning of it. Once he was awake though, he really liked to look at all of the airplanes, but did not like the sounds the jets were making!! We all had a grand time. The kids got balloons and cotton candy.
Before the jets came along!
Brodie, Jenna and Daddy in a C-130. Daddy has jumped out of this type of perfectly good airplane.
A-10 Warthog
Creed not liking the sound of this jet!!!
F-16 Fighting Falcon
Navy aircraft.
Now...the most exciting part of the airshow!!!
After the Warthog makes a ground pass, engaging targets with it's 30mm gatlan gun. The A-10 banks hard left and releases flares to spoil any ground to air threats.
Now, if any of you have questions about any of these aircraft....you'll have to get in contact with my husband as I have NO clue what any of them really do!
