Ohio has hosted this two day event for 36 years. A multitude of ground displays were available.
The flying portion of the show was incredible with world class aviators demonstrating some amazing maneuvers.
Stunt pilots performed precision movements.
Sometimes it looked like they were about to crash.
The Aeroshell Acrobatic team flies four North American AT-6G aircraft, a plane originally designed as a trainer aircraft for pilots in World War II.
This wing walking demonstration is a husband - wife team; and the wife is out on the wing.
The Blue Angels performed a thrilling mix of amazing maneuvers and precision flying
Six pilots fly the Boeing F/A-18 Hornets, a high performance fighter and attack aircraft, painted in the Navy colors of blue and gold.
The Hornet measures 56 ft. long, 15 ft. high, and has a wingspan of 40 ft. It can reach speeds of 1,200 mph, and climb 30,000 feet per minute.
They were impressive and thrilling. And even though it started to rain during this performance, the crowd stayed and watched until the finish.
Sights from around the world can be seen at My World.

Wonderful photographs, Carol! As I looked at them and read your words I could hear the roar from the Farnborough International Air Show 8 miles away.
I always rather fancied being a wing walker - it must be terrific - or do I mean terrifying?
These are great photographs of the action in the sky! Wow, I love the Blue Angels...what a thrill it is to see them. Military aircraft is always a thrill to see in the sky!
Fantastic captures, Carol! I love the Blue Angels and they just blow my mind every time I've had the opportunity to see them. Terrific post for the day! Have a great week!

The stunt pilots performance are really wonderful! Nice captures of action.
I love an air show! We are actually going to one on Sunday at a nearby small airport. There will be one aerobatic team and that's about it, but looking at all the airplanes that fly in for the event is a show in itself. - Margy

Always two hands of air beneath your wings. Great photography indeed. Please have a nice Wednesday.

Spectacular! So glad you put this link on the Midweek Blues. I'm thinking how did I miss these fab fotos. Then I realized they were taken in July and I was out of commission for three weeks in July!
