We went to the Fort Worth Alliance Air Show this last weekend and had a blast. Wyatt loooooves the planes. He's been running around the house like he's a big jet for 3 days now!! My husband works for Bell Helicopter so we get to sit right off the runway for the show. Great spot to watch!

Heritage flight of an F15 and a Hawker Typhoon? Not sure on that last ID! This was a really cool demonstration!!! That F15 was going as slow as he could it looked like and that little Hawker Typhoon (?) was going as fast as he could!

I LOVE planes and jets and I just love those air shows! I try and go any time they are here. My dad flew with a fighter squadron when he was in the Marines during WWII, he has some awesome pictures of the planes they flew back then. You got some GREAT shots!

My Grandfather worked there too, and my Mother, and now my husband!!! It's a family thing! lol. My Grandfather was an Industrial Engineer that worked on the beginnings of the V22, then My Mom has worked there for over 35 years and has worked her way to the top levels of managment. She's works in the supply chain aspects but she's been there for all of the V22 development, and now my husband is actually building the V22!! Funny how that works! That's great that your grandad worked there!

Amy, just got done looking at the site. Great stuff! My son's room is done in the type of planes that your first few pictures posted here are (the ones with the woman on the top). I am having a hard time finding more of these type of photos for his walls. Do you happen to have any more of these??

Okay I just uploaded all of the Biplane photos to my flickr account. If you like any of them they are there in full size. Just click on All Sizes and download original size.

Hope that helps!! What a cool room your son must have!! I have to admit I was glad the sun came out during the biplane cause it was REALLY cool!

FAntastic pics!! I love airplanes and so does my grandson. I'm waiting for the Blue Angels to come around here so I can take them. I especially love the one of your hubby and son with their hands over their hearts. You should put a flag back drop on that one and frame it up. Good job with the pics and I did identify the F15, LOL

Thanks Amy. I will check them out later today when I have more time. Biplane... yep. That's the name. LOL.

LOL. So I was just peeking at them and my son came over and saw the lady on top of the plane and said, "Heey.... what's that man doing up on airplane?" and "ooooooooohhh.. it's too big." He really likes them, just doesn't understand why there is a woman standing on the top of it. :)
