Today was arrival day for many of the performers and static aircraft for March ARB Airfest 2010. We arrived at the base around noon and setup at the south end of the runway, almost directly under the approach path. Arrivals were slow at first but quickly picked up. The first we caught were two F-15’s, they performed a few passes before landing. We then got to experience the landing of the massive B-52. Soon the F-22 arrived and performed a few low passes. Shortly after we heard “scramble” on our scanner and down the runway on full afterburner were two F-16’s from the California ANG. Later on a few warbirds came in, as did a few of the aerobatic pilots, two F-18’s and the Patriots jet team.
It was a great spot to be to feel the power of the jets and catch every detail. Below are some photos and one video from today. Tomorrow is media day and we will be on base to get all the behind the scenes for Airfest 2010.
