Blue Angels in the Big Sky

Gallatin Field, near Bozeman, Montana, was the stage for the Blue Angels in the Big Sky air show held July 28-29, 2007. The clear skies and mountain backdrops of Montana’s Big Sky country were a picturesque setting for this fantastic show. The hot weather did not deter thousands of spectators from attending.

MiG Fury Fighters is a new act, which flies a rare North American FJ4 Fury (the only one flying in the world) with a MiG-15 and a MiG-17. Seeing these vintage jets flying together is fantastic.

  • MiG Fury Fighters is a new act, which flies a rare North American FJ4 Fury (the only one flying in the world) with a MiG-15 and a MiG-17.  Seeing these vintage jets flying together is fantastic.
  • A MiG-17 taxis out for take-off.

  • MiG-17 in afterburner.
  • A MiG Fury formation fly-by.  The FJ-4 Fury leads the pack, followed by the MiG-15 (upper left) and MiG-17 (lower).
  • If you thought that only little planes like the aerobatic Extra 300L or jets like the F-16 can yank and bank, think again!  For a big plane (big enough to transport an M-1 Abrams tank), the C-17 Globemaster III can do some serious yanking and banking.  This C-17 and its crew from McChord AFB, WA, provided a good demo of this big airlifter’s capabilities.
  • C-17 low pass.
  • C-17 banks hard.
  • Those who enjoy small planes performing high-energy aerobatics were not disappointed, as two very talented aerobatics pilots performed.  One was Greg Poe, flying the ethanol-powered Fagen MX-2.  Fagen, Inc. is an advocate of ethanol fuel, and seeing what this plane can do burning clean ethanol, I can’t wait to try some myself!
