Puerto Rico Airshow - US Airforce Thunderbirds! by mmariluh
It was amazing, awe-inspiring and at times, even kind of emotional for me. Every part of the show was amazing. I am probably the dumbest person when it comes to airplanes, I must say. Still, not being able to name (even ONE of the) planes I saw did not deter from my experience. I absolutely loved it. The whole show was artistic, inspiring and definitely worth the hassle of getting there.
My husband (my robot!) took some amazing pictures and put together a video of the experience. Check them out! I LOVE them!
