Joint Service Open House 2005

On Saturday, May 21st 2005, I went to the Joint Service Open House at Andrews Air Force Base. The Open House is a three day event that is open to the public. I had never been to Andrews Air Force Base or to a military air show, so I didn't know what to expect. They had a wide variety of aircraft on display, both past and present. They also had an air show which included the Blue Angels and the 82nd Airborn Mass Jump.
