Air Show

Well, it was almost a month ago now, but I went up to the airshow in Leeuwarden. The interesting thing about this is that provided me a chance to learn the hard way that quite often here part of your train will go one way and the other part will go a different way. I know, it doesn't make much sense, but that's small consolation when you're running down the platform to get back into the right part of your train.

The airshow was quite good and quite well attended. The Jordanians, Swiss, French, and Blue Angels were all very good. Exiting the airfield was interesting. It reminded me a bit of a refugee march. A hundred-thousand people hiking overland through a field, while helicopters circle overhead, soldiers with megaphones shout unintelligible things, and the Red Cross handing out bottles of water. Interesting.

A bazillion pics are here.
