Selfridge Air National Guard Base Air Show 2009
August 22-23, 2009  (Photos taken 8-22-2009)
Selfridge Air National Guard Base is just North East of Detroit along the shores of Lake St. Clair and has been hosting a bi-annual airshow for as long as I can remember.  This is the third time in the past five years I have been able to get to this great show.  It always makes sure there is a good representation of warbirds, both static and in the air.
 

The 127th Wing's first public display of its A-10s.

The Wing traded it's F-16s for the Warthog.

Note that there are no tail markings on this aircraft yet.

Yankee Air Museum B-25D Yankee Warrior on the takeoff roll.

The YAF's C-47 was right behind it.

SNV was the third in the warbird fly-bys.

All three photographed together.

The B-25 got nice and close.

The C-47 making one it's passes.

The B-17 Yankee Lady of the Yankee Air Museum had plenty of persons waiting in line for a tour.

The Screaming Rebels formation team.

The Yankee Air Force B-25 had a good crowd around it.

This SNV actually was a pilot trainer at several Naval Stations during WWII.

The Ohio Valley Wing of the CAF always attends the show with its L-5.


The L-39 was getting its share of attention at the event.

Interesting nose art.
