Eric and I took in the Selfridge Air National Guard Air Show on Sunday; Eric had a great time looking at all of the airplanes on display. We spent a full day there - fortunately, the weather was beautiful with temperatures in the 70s and a mix of clouds and sun. Here are a few pictures - I have no idea what types of planes these are - it's a good thing Eric could fill me in. :-)

| There were several aerobatic displays, which were pretty neat to watch |
At one point in the air show, there was a wing walker who was attempting to move from the wings of an airplane to the skids of a helicopter. On the third attempt, the wing walker grabbed the helicopter skid, but lost his grip and fell 200 feet to the ground. It was a horrible thing to witness and unfortunately, he did not survive the fall (
