Nelson BC's Airfest this summer

Thanks so much for scooping and pastingthe photos.
They look SO MUCH BETTER here! Course if I'd been able to crawlout from under my rck, I could have gone across the tracks and "petted" all those pets! (the PLANES!!!!!!!!!!)

I heard something LOUD and DEEP and DIFFERENT ... would that be the "distinctive sound"??? I had the covers pulled up over my sleeping head most of the day and nite...sick.

That "YAK" photo ... dig the smoke hey? You guys/gals should have seen the people round town during the fire time... NO ONE looked aheadas they walked ... they all looked UP at the mountain tops , every one with anxiety on their faces.

All that gorgeous greenery on the mountains behind the planes? well .. just over one of the mountains is a huge chunk of area with "missing greenery"

While the airshow as happening the heli's were scooping water right beside the airstrip ... enjoying whatthey could see of the planes from their heli's.

Enough for now ... Thanks again Keith...and yes... truly beautiful in these parts, also loaded with history.

Yappy
