Thunder Over Louisville Fireworks

The had the best fireworks show I have ever seen. It was totally awesome!!!
I know I had a lot posted, but it was a fun filled day of non-stop events. It was also nice being on my turf again (Kentucky Bluegrass State)!

Fireworks

Just before the fireworks show, they had a helecopter fly over with an American flag.

This was one of my favorites! How often do you see a cross flying in the sky.


Airshow/fireworks



I wish the first picture came out more clearer. It was really cool because from a distance you couldn't tell if it was one plane or more. This was the lead into the fireworks.

I wanted Rebekah to take a good picture of Richard and I. So, she decided to keep snaping the camera when we weren't ready or when Richard was playing around. I think we ended up with an ok one.

Here we are hanging out and having some fun before the fireworks begin. We are hanging out with one of Richards clients-Fox41. We are at the highest level that you can get to, besides the hotels behind us.

Airshow

Here are some close up pictures of them. One of the guys held up a poster that said "America Freedom" . It was really cool and he waved to us all. He got really close to where we were.

Airshow

This B2 Stealth fighter was really cool to see. I can't remember if these helecopters are the sky soldiers or Black Hawk. But it was really cool to see how much water these things can move just by hovering over it. These guys put on an awesome show for us!

Military helicopters



There were the Apache, Black Hawk, and Jayhawk. They were really cool to watch as they did simulaions of battle.

the Airshow

I'm not sure what kind of planes these are, but I'm sure they are the older ones.


Thunder Over Louisville



Just before the air show begins, the miilitary shoots off their cannons from the bridge. That was really cool to see and hear. And then, periodically they would shoot them during the fireworks show.

Thunder Over Louisville



They had some military vehicles for the kids to go inside of . The vehicle is a military fire truck, the second one is a vehicle that go's in before the ground troops to clear the way of the enemy. It has a big barrel that it shoots with.

Weird in the Ohio River



Here's one of those strangest things!

The Ohio River

Earlier in the day before the show began we hung out by the Ohio River. Oh, across from the river is Indiana. It was really interesting watching some of the strangest things flooting down the river.

Downtown Louisville, Kentucky

We went to Louisville, Kentucky to see an air show called Thunder Over Louisville. This is from the night before the show. We went downtown to eat dinner.
