Went to the MAKS 2009 Russian Air Show two weeks ago.  That was AWESOME!  Lots of aircraft there that I will not see in the states any time soon.  The airshow grounds are huge and can take quite some time to walk around.  The performances were back-to-back too so there was always something in the sky to watch.

Yesterday, friends and I wen to the Cleveland Air Show.  It was good.  It was much smaller than the Russian show and dare I say, maybe smaller than I remember seeing at previous Cleveland air shows.  The performances were great.  I hadn’t seen in quite some time the F-15 demo, Harrier demo, and the Thunderbirds.  To top it all off, my friend got us on to the tarmac where they keep the performance show aircraft.  That was awesome.
