Guest rookie101 Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Well, I am a little disappointed none of the members here at VR that live in Hillsboro didn't say anything about the airshow they just had Friday and today , but that happens. So, if anyone attended that, how was it? Did you see any helicopters or was it all jets and fixed wingers? As I recall the one they have over at the Eugene airport has never had helicopters (but they did have that C-5 Galaxy and holy s%$@ is that thing massive ). Unfortunatly the only way I heard about this was from the news. They had said something about a jet crashing into a residential area, crashing into three houses two of which burned (still burning at the time of this post ) No word yet on if the pilot made it out, but my hopes aren't high . BTW as far as I know no one was hurt on the ground. Quote

Shawn Adams Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Sadly he didn't. He was the only casualty - a firefighter was injured from the post-crash; only minor.

Nice video there Shawn, really enjoyed that, wish I could've gone to it . It looks like one of those S-300's were playing around with those traffic cones, the very thing we've been talking about, nice to see how it is done. I was wondering if that A-10 fired off any blank rounds from it's gat gun or was it just flyin' around? BTW, love that P-51D, that is a gorgous aircraft Quote
Guest Guest Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Nice one Shawn. Nice to see those 300's definately. Thumbs up! Quote
Grant B Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Nice one Shawn. Nice to see those 300's definately. Thumbs up! That was me. I didn't know you could post as a guest or without being logged in. I saw I wasn't logged in but went ahead to see what happened. Anyway - nice vid. Quote
