First airshow day

Late evening, right before bedtime.

Today has been very…. I do no. Different in a bad way.


The airshow started good. Really cool opening with fireworks, continuing  with Skip and Jurgis showing a great aerobatic display with pyro effects!


A couple of more displays later we stood ready on Catwalk. Engine was running, we where standing next to the runway, ready and waiting for our turn. Looking at a fighter doing his show. Something gave a bad feeling inside watching it. And when he was leaving display area, it happened. 

Suddenly the airplane turn over and went straight toward the ground. I couldn't believe what I saw. The fighter kept going straight down and disappeared in the ground with a cloud of fire and black smoke. Next to it, one parachute hang in the sky.


Still cant believe its for real. I've been thinking so many times this might happen, and now it did. Luckily it landed on an empty field. I can say no more about the accident, cause no facts been released about what happened.

As the accident was taken care of, the show continued with great performances and all safe flights. But it was weird, so weird.


Todays was friday, as you can se from the carpet in the …………. :) They change every day! 




The airshow finished early afternoon, and we went back to the hotel. A shower then hit downtown for shopping! Well, shopping buckets, soap and more towels to clean the airplanes ;)

To light up the finnish of the post, here's some funny spellings!






All for today.

Stay safe and take care of each other out there :)

Good night! xxx Hella
