I will be posting some awesome pics and maybe even some GoPro here this weeks guys
Enjoy

So.... Funny story.
My main role at the Airshow is as a fire guard during aircraft refueling.
Put signs up. Keep bystanders clear.
In the pic below you can see my setup. A couple of signs and a fire extinguisher!!

But that's a B52 Bomber that takes an hour and a half to fill with AV GAS !
Attachment 26186
And that's the Tanker that will basically empty after this fill!
Remember my fire extinguisher!!!
Who wants to swap?
How about these blokes who came for a LOOK!

Bit of a plum job that one.....lucky bugger... :)
Yeah the cloud cover has been at 600 feet today and basically a No Fly zone all day so all static displays and fuel ups. The jets got a run around 4:30pm but I had left for the day.
Got the boom over my head at my place too though! Awesome.
Big day tomorrow hopefully!

Was crazy to be that close though.
