X-Prixe Cup, 2007

My Dad and I hooked up with the Rawson's and went to the X-Prize cup this year. There were less rockets and more airplanes than we expected, but it was a great air show. Got some great pictures of a lot of airplane systems. Supposedly this is the last time the F-117 will be shown in public, as it is being retired.
