Our Private Air Show

About a month ago I met a few guys from the Oregon Air Guard while working a booth for The Blue Mag at Boise Beerfest. They are great guys and they're temporarily stationed in Boise with their F-15's while their base in Klamath Falls, OR is undergoing repairs. They invited me to come out with a few people and take a tour of the hanger and watch
the jets take off. It was awesome. We got to stand on the taxi runway and watch as the jets took off only a few hundred feet away! Afterwards we got to tour the hanger where they repair the jets. There were a few jets inside and we even got to walk around on top of one. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

They also got us special clearance to take pics, so here's a few of the pictures and videos we took. Enjoy!

Brayden did a quick mechanical check and then gave them the go ahead.















We were told not to cross the red line. There were security trucks on both sides of the runway
just waiting to shoot us if we did.

Brooklyn loved it.
