L.E. Fant attended the Aviation Nation Airshow this past weekend together with friend and family.
The show was held on Veterans' Day. L.E. Fant thanks all those who serve and have served in our armed forces for their service.

The new F22 Raptor was demonstrated and its capabilities (those shown) were extraordinary.

The unmanned Predator and Reaper flew over and were indeed interesting examples of U.S.A.F. technology achievements.

L.E. was disappointed that the Osprey VTOL did not fly (though one was on ground display).

All in all a great day in Las Vegas, especially since it preceded the demolition of the Frontier.
