National Radial Engine Exhibition

I was out of town this past weekend at the National Radial Engine Exhibition at Akron Colorado. (http://www.nationalradialengineexhibition.com) I actually went to high school there so it’s kind of ironic that this airshow is there. They also had a WWII re-enactment, complete with half-tracks and explosions and cool stuff like that. My friend from college buys and restores WWII half-tracks. I went with him and participated in the re-enactment. Mounted on top of his half-track is this big ass .50 cal semi-auto gun. Big gun, it shoots blanks but they’re full load blanks so they make a real loud noise. It was awesome. I got to shoot that one, it was sweet. Luckily it was mounted on a turret on top of the half-track otherwise it would’ve kicked me into the back of the truck. I shot a little video so have a look.
