We are super lucky to live really close to the Hillsboro Airport. It's a small airport, but every summer it hosts the Oregon International Airshow. It is so fun to be able to see the airplanes as they practice the week before the airshow over our neighborhood and places that we frequent. The amazing Thunderbirds and Blue Angels are our faves, of course! For a variety of reasons, we have never actually gone to the show, so we decided this year was a must. Of course, the one year we actually to go happens to be one of the hottest EVER, with temps over 100°!!! And it was even hotter on the tarmac, oh my! But we had an absolute blast and seeing the Thunderbirds that close was seriously mind blowing!!

Here is the coolest stunt that the Thunderbirds did. Total surprise fly-by!
We will definitely be going back next year. Just hoping it's a tad cooler. :P
