Post #16 - Airshow and CAP security

On Friday June 4th Lindsay and I went to an airshow that the Logan-Cache Airport was hosting. The main attraction was the WWII B-17 Bomber. Since Lindsay only had a little over an hour for her work break, we toured the B-17 and didn't look at much else. Would have been fun to fly around town in it, but it was $400 a person for a 25 minute flight. It was fun looking at it, inside and out, and being able to walk across the catwalk in the Bomb Bay. Here are a few pictures of it, and also a video of the flight that took off later that day.

Here are two videos I took from the airshow of it starting and taking off.






Also, a T-28 Trojan flew in that day. The T-28 was mainly a training aircraft used just after WWII. It was built by the same company that made the P-51 Mustang. It saw some action in Vietnam later. More info on it can be seen HERE.

This is the pic I took of it at the airshow.

Later that day, I went back to the airport for some volunteer work. The Civil Air Patrol was presenting the colors and helping with security. I was put in charge of two groups of cadets on ground security. We were responsible for making sure that no one wandered onto the active taxiway.


Overall, it was a fun day with some good historic aircraft.
