Thunder on the Lakeshore (Manitowoc, WI)

Well, I have to say that I've never been to an airshow when the weather was as crappy as it was on Saturday. The temps were in the high 40's and rainy, but they put on one heck of a show despite the conditions. It was good to see a fair amount of statics and some great performers. Paul (our very own T33Driver) did some fantastic fly-bys in the warbird portion of the show. Here are a few pics from the show. (Sorry, they aren't very good, but the lighting and conditions didn't help much.)

And here I am in paparazzi mode. (Gotcha' Paul!!) 
And this big puppy found me as well.
More to come is you all want some more. Ended up with over 1500 pictures that still need to be gone through!

What type of aircraft is that in the very second photo?
The ol' T-bird looks good, Paul.

Gary, I had to look at that one twice as well. All I could find out was that it is a Nord. It has a very cool sound to it as well. After a little looking on the web, it appears to be a Nord 3202, but the landing gear looks different.

Think French, but I bet it never wore Suez invasion colours during its military service!

Bear, Thanks for the kind words. I am a volunteer for the show and despite the weather we did have a nice show.
BTW the Nord is based in Pulaski,WI and if I remember correctly they have a couple of them based together there. Cool little airplane, I would love to learn more about it myself. I love how Paul flies that beautiful 33 around and seems like they have a couple close by and fly together.
