Paul and R went to the California Capital Airshow on Saturday. Here are some of the highlights. This is R in the cockpit of an army medical helicopter.
Here's R checking out the cargo bay of a C-5 Galaxy, one of the planes we see daily flying to and from Travis Airforce Base.
One of the main attractions of the show were the P-38 Lightnings. There are only 7 in the world, and 4 of them were at the show. We paid some extra $ to get an up-close view. Here's R in front of
Glacier Girl. A P-38 recovered and restored after being buried for 50 years in Greenland under 200 feet of ice.
The other show highlight were the two F-22 Raptors, which flew all the way from Langley Airforce Base in Virginia.
Our 5th generation fighter the most advance fighter plane in the world.
The F-22s were some of the few planes we were not able to go near. They were under armed military guard during the show.
We were surprised to see the B-2 bomber. Only 21 have been built. They are refered to as the deadliest aircraft in the sky.
Did you know that the B-2 flies the longest missions of any US aircraft. Some of their missions last over 40 hours. Imagine being in the air in a plane for almost 2 straight days!
