We went with Mary, sig other Chris, and a couple friends to see the fireworks show at Cedar Creek Lake last evening. After some Mexican food, we took the long route to the Pinnacle Golf and Boat Club - that also has some nice homes. When we arrived, an airshow was in progress. We thought it was part of the golf club entertainment but I later found out that it was a show called "Thunder Over Cedar Creek Lake Airshow" sponsored by the Cedar Creek Lake Veterans Foundation.. It had started about and hour and a half before we got there and twenty airplanes were in the show. We saw a couple A-10 Thunderbolts (Warthogs)and a C-130 Hercules cargo plane. Both did numerous very low flyovers but the star of the show was an F-16 that came over many times and sometimes went straight up until he was out of sight or lost in the clouds. It was an impressive show and, if you were wondering, the sound lets you know why the show has the word "thunder" in it's name - really loud! On the lake, many boats had gathered for the airshow and the fireworks and there was really an air of a big event taking place - lots of fire trucks and other "official" groups around like the Viper East F16 Demonstration Team. Glynda had talked me into taking the camera and, although the equipment wasn't up to the event, I took quite a few pictures. Here are a few of them. And we were back home in bed by midnight!
