This isn't really 3D related but may be of interest to any aviation-minded trueSpacers.
This past weekend was the 'Thunder Over Michigan' Airshow at Willow Run Airport (http://www.willowrunairport.com/history_default.htm) in Ypsilanti, Michigan. An annual event, it features the best collection of WWII 'warbirds' assembled in one place. Last year's show featured 9(!) B-17s that all flew in for the show. This year's features included a B-2 Stealth Bomber Flyby and a mock ground/air battle with 250 re-enactors, 20 armored vehicles, and 6 tanks.
I unfortunately didn't get any shots of the ground battle this year but I did get a few of the rest of the show. ( I really need a better camera!)
If you are interested you can look them over here. (http://www.spacekdet.com/photo/MIThunder06/)
If you missed last year's photos they are here. (http://www.spacekdet.com/photo/MIthunder/)
To see what else you missed, visit the Yankee Air Museum (http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/)site.
I highly recommend attending this event in the future if you have any interest in aviation or history and are in the South-East Michigan area.
