"De Plane, de plane"



So, we took the afternoon to go to the 25th AWACS NATO E-3A Component Anniversary at the NATO Airbase in Geilenkirchen, Germany. What a wonderful day! We got to see airplanes from all over Europe and the US. Plus, they had a "Nation's Corner" where there was food available from all of the participating nations. Can you say American Style Cheeseburger! Plus they had Frito's imported from the US. The best 4 euros spent all day!

Of course, being Germany, the weather couldn't be perfect. It worked out well though, it started to rain just as we hit the food tents and while we were under the big tent, it became a torrential downpour. It lasted about 15 - 20 minutes or so and then it was bright and sunny again!

We took a ton of pictures, below are a few of the better ones. I will post the rest to a Yahoo Album if anyone is interested in seeing them, let me know!
