This past weekend I got not only a ride with the Golden Knights, but also Fat Albert! Aaron and David also got to go. I uploaded a video of my Fat Albert ride to the RideAlong! section. We managed to get on-board video with Vlado Lenoch in his P-51 Mustang also, so look for that soon. Janesville marked the first show where all four of the AirshowStuff.com Crew were in attendance, and we had a blast! We snapped a group photo but it is lost in my files right now.

Dakota Thunder 2009 from Brian's Flying Blog by Brian
Dakota Thunder was a great airshow in Rapid City, South Dakota at the Ellsworth Airforce Base (KRCA)! I got a chance to go up there last weekend, and it was a great trip! Ellsworth Air Force Base is home of the B-1B bomber. There is also more information on Wikipedia about Ellsworth here. The Thunderbirds were there, 2 B-1Bs on the ground, 2 B-1Bs in the air, and A-10 demonstration, and lots of other stuff in the air show and on the ground to look at. And it was all free and not too crowded!
On the Ellsworth Air Force Base site, it indicates that approximately 40,000 people came to the Dakota Thunder. The area for the air show was quite large with many large planes on the ground, so it did not seem very crowded. There was also lots of food booths, so there were basically no lines for food which is fantastic for an air show. I found an article about Dakota Thunder in the Rapid City Journal here and another article about Dakota Thunder in the Rapid City Journal here. ...
