Also recently I managed to spent some time at Santa Monica Airport, KSMO. Great place for Aircraft photography and, a spot of lunch in the restaurant. Seen here departing KSMO, is N730BH
Well size matter in this case. This is one big aircraft. The B-52 has been in service with the United States Air Force since the 1950's, and is capable of carrying 32,000 kg's of weapons and bombs.
This is one big helicopter. The CH-53 is the largest United States Military Helicopter, designed for heavy lift operations, carrying equipment supplies and personnel. The CH-53 has 3 engines, and when loaded with weaponry it can carry up to 16 tons. It is capable of retrieving downed aircraft including another CH-53, and is invaluable to the United States Marine Corps.
The display by the F/A-18 Super Hornet, 216, was just awesome. The sun was in the wrong place in the sky at the time of the display, so it was quite hard to get some good shots, so I have picked out some that worked best.
Bugger just missed the Nose Almost through the Sound Barrier, Awesome !!
