Military Aviation

I've always been impressed by military aviation and there was plenty of it on display at the Coke 600. Six Apache helicopters flew around the track for about 10 minutes. It was quite an impressive display.















Two Blackhawk helicopters unloaded two groups of soldiers who put on a mock assault on a few fake houses. I would have got pictures of the mock assault but from the pits we couldn't see anything. We did here the assault weapons though follow by three shots from some howitzers.















Of course the finale after the National Anthem was the F-15 flyover. Apparently F-15s are fast so it was difficult to go from holding your hat for the anthem to getting your camera to take a picture. Man they were loud.
