New Orleans Air Show 2011

Having never been to an air show before we really didn't know what to expect or how long we'd stay but we thought, it's five minutes from our house so we should at least check it out!




These noisy fast jets have been buzzing our house repeatedly this week along with the Blue Angles as they all practiced for the show.
Lots of Coast Guard around here too, so we see these at least weekly too.


Luke managed to fall asleep and stay asleep through some of the nosiest parts of the show. I guess when your tired your tired. It was funny watching him as it got loud you could tell he tensed up but it was like it was just too much effort to open his eyes!


Logan being cheesy!






Of course, we found Aubie hanging around one of the display plans! We had a feeling we may run into some Auburn pilots.



Logan checking out the BIG gun. He's always talking about pow guns as he calls them but I think this one was a little intimidating!



Logan and I checking out one of the coast guard planes. He liked being able to walk in and out through the back hatch.



Climbing aboard the chopper.



Ahhhhh....All in all we ended up staying over four hours. The kids were great. Thanks to Chevron, who happened to be a sponsor, we got up close parking, drinks and food, and shade tent for watching. We would have never made it that long without the shade!
