The MCAS Beaufort Airshow was this past weekend, and it was a blast! For a true hardware geek, there’s nothing like a huge display of military hardware, not to mention the in-flight demos. We take it for granted, but our armed services are really quite remarkable. I’ve put together a collection of photos from the event, so check ’em out.

Duct Tape Repairs All
Every once in a while, you see something people joke about, but never really believe would happen. For me this happened while I was at the airshow. I had my camera, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. If you’ve ever heard the saying “you can fix anything with duct tape” then you’ll understand this picture.

The part you’re looking at is the leading edge of the left wing of a C-17 Globemaster III military cargo jet. This is a big aircraft capable of hauling troops and equipment halfway across the world. Not the type of aircraft you’d expect to see with duct tape holding something together. 🙂
