We are back "home" visiting family and they do their big air show and fireworks on July 3rd every year (kind of nice since everyone that gets the holiday off, has it off the day after). We spent time shooting off some things of our own on the 2nd and then after the big show tonight.
Lots of patriotism flows through me, and it is great to see people put their differences aside for at least a few hours, share some food and drink, watch some brave (and crazy) pilots (B1 Bomber, A10, some biplanes, stunt planes, a wing walker, and more) and parashooters (Golden Knights) before the 40 minute fireworks show on a nice night along the Mississippi river.
I do wonder though... How did fireworks that come from China (at least originally) made it into our 4th of July celebration? I guess everything is made in China, so it doesn't surprise me.
Happy 4th to all of my American friends. Be safe!
