Two of the nation's premier aerial demonstration teams were highlighted at the 2009 Robins Air Force Base Air Show (Warner Robins, Georgia). The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds  performed  precision aerobatics in their F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft, traveling at more than 400 mph with their wingtips only inches apart. They were joined by the U.S. Army Parachute Demonstration Team, the Golden Knights, whose precision skydiving abilities are renowned worldwide. God bless our troops!

    I remember visiting Warner Robbins one year when I was working for a software company. I was only there for one night. The drive was enjoyable (from Columbus, GA) and it was a great place!

    When I was a little girl...the Blue Angels used to come to the Niagara Falls Air Force Base and we used to watch them every year. They were amazing!

    Thanks for the great pictures. Husband is retired AF and often worked the air show in KC at the airbase there. I always get tingles on the back of my neck when I see either the Thunderbirds or the Blue Angels!

    Hi Susan,
    I'm an Air Force Brat, I grew up going to air shows, during high school I worked at the flight line serving burgers to those seriously good-looking pilots when they flew in for practices!! Loved every minute of it!! Those Thunderbirds are really something!!
    The Blue Angels are really incredible too - they fly in for demos quite often around here. I love to watch them do their stuff - they are awe inspiring!!
    Great to see the still shots, thanks for sharing, what a great post! Have a nice week,
    Heidi - Heart and Home

    Yes, our troops are amazing in everything they do. My niece and nephew are both in the Army, he leaves for Iraq in December and she is a drill sergeant in South Carolina. I am proud of them both, as well as all of our troops.

    Those are great photos. They were just here in New York over the summer. We loved watching them and hearing that thunderous roar. It is absolutely amazing that they can fly so close and not crash. So impressive. Thanks for hosting this Outdoor Wed. This is my first time here. I can't wait to see everyone else's posts. Have a great day!
