Drove south to Waco and attended the Waco Big Bird Meet. Lots of folks and planes were there. The rain let up enough to keep the field surroundings dry enough to give good parking. Never been to the WACO meet before today, so it was good to see the field and all the warbirds. A nice field.

Have three Jets in today's meet where they put on a fine show. This one gad a great smoke system. Not sure of the jet's ID. The other two were a F-22 and a MiG-17.


The MiG-17 was very fast and put on some fast passes. So fast, hard to get a great photo.


The F-22 was fast too.

The other one with the impressive smoke looks like an L-39 Albatross.

Sparky, thanks, Albatross sounds correct. It did have some impressive smoke!

Better pics of the MiG, Albatross, and B-24.

A nice B-24. There was a good flight of several WWII Bombers en masse. B-17, this B-24, and several B-25's.


A better pic of the MiG-17 on takeoff! This one really stole the show! I see lots of jets on YouTube, but not in person. This one is large and in-charge. A long flight time and LOTS of maneuvers. This might be a CARF MiG-17.


The Albatross on takeoff. 


AMA District 8 VP Mr Lawrence Harville with friend. Sorry, don't know the other gentleman.
