McGuire AFB, New Jersey
Saturday May 31, 2008

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as a KC-10 Extender, KC-135R Stratotanker, and a C-17 Globemaster III take to the skies over McGuire AFB on Saturday. You will get to see the KC-10 and KC-135R do a flyover for a special wreath-laying ceremony, the C-17 performing a mass paradrop of troops from the 82nd Airborne, and the three aircraft performing a flyby in front of the crowd before landing. Two jumpers of the 82nd Airborne sustained head injuries upon landing as a result of high winds, which were almost at the limit for any kind of jumping. Don't worry... the word I received was that the jumpers did not sustain any serious injuries. This was the ONLY flying that took place on Saturday as a result of the threat of a severe thunderstorm (one that would spawn pea-sized hail and possible tornadoes) blowing through in the day. Luckily, I don't think McGuire was hit by the said storm...

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .
