Airshow in Cocoa Beach 2010

A small collage of impressions from the recent Airshow 2010 in Cocoa Beach, Florida
(click in the picture to see it bigger)

Organizers estimated Saturday's air show attendance at 100,000 and Sunday's crowd at 60,000. 
That's more than twice the estimated turnout of last October's inaugural event.


Hi my friends,
Thank you all for the wonderful comments to my "Wordless Sunday" post. I'm happy you liked it that much.

We had a very noisy Weekend with this giant airshow going on over Cocoa Beach. 
They flew so close and so loud over all the houses so that I'm sure, all the windows were shaking.
And it was also hurting my ears.
But it was big fun and very impressive to see those "Thunderbirds" (and other airplanes like the F-16 Jet fighters and smaller "Bumble-Bee's") flying their risky formations. They flew so close over the water - dusting up everybody at the beach with sand and colored smoke. 
There was also one women pilot flying - would YOU do that job...????  :))

I wish you all a wonderful week!

Pretty close to the ground

It's pretty close....!

This is the spot where the air plains in training are landing - and also starting - to their training flights. It's impressive and also scary looking, to see them fly so close to the ground.
