The Dayton Air Show - Heading Out

Normally I like to linger a bit after the Air Show because there is always a good number of planes on static display. This year was no exception to that except it was hot so I didn't really feel like hanging around too long. I did get a few shots of the static displays though.

This is a Delta Airlines 757. You could go through the cabin but I've been through enough commercial cabins that I didn't really want to wait in line.

This is an EA-6 Prowler which is an electronic attack aircraft. They are currently in the process of replacing this plane with the E/A-18 Growler.

And this is the E/A-18 Growler. It is based on the Super Hornet airframe.

This is one of my favorite planes - The B-52 Stratofortress. Sadly it was right in line with the main entrance so I couldn't get a picture without people in it.

This is a pair of B-52 engines. The plane has 8 engines and has been in service for almost 60 years (in one form or another). The H is the current model and production for it stopped in 1964. I've read somewhere that it may last until 2050 which would make it an almost 100 year design.
