Battle Creek Fields of Flight airshow - USAF Thunderbirds

The highlight of the show was of course the Thunderbirds. I could try to describe each of these photos but really, it's just amazing what these people do, so perfect everytime. It's fun to see the pilots treated like rock stars when they come out to sign autographs after the show.

Battle Creek Fields of Flight airshow

We spent the day watching the air show in Battle Creek. It was hot and mostly overcast. We did have some blue skies but mostly clouds. Just once I'd love to photograph an airshow and have nice blue skies.
