2012 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
The Cherry Point Airshow was on display May 4-6 at Marine Corp Air Station Cherry Point in Havelock, North Carolina. These airshows are always awesome and this one was no different. The show celebrated 100 years of Marine aviation and had an amazing mix of old and new technology. Two things always leave a huge impression on me at the MCAS Cherry Point air show— the F18 afterburner fly-by (first photo below) and the live combat demonstation (see explosion photos scattered below). Hearing the roar of those jet engines go by is simply amazing. Another great part of this show was the Legacy Flight, a dual fly by in which a workhorse of WWII, the Corsair, was accompanied by a Harrier jet. Just a really cool sight. Here are a collection of shots from the show, enjoy!
Beached | Abandoned on the Neuse
Walking along the ocean, sound and river shorelines can be a fun thing; you never know what you’ll find. This old abandoned sailboat has found it’s final resting place along the Neuse River. I’m not sure how it got there, but it may have come loose during a hurricane or storm, maybe set adrift, or even just dumped there like people sometimes dump cars on dry land. Despite the fact that it has been gutted of everything and every window has been smashed out, it still looks as if it could float. Future project for me?

Flanner’s Beach, along the Neuse River in the Croatan National Forest. Awesome place and it has a little bit of everything!
