Scenes From 'Aviation Nation 2005'

When Uncle Sam's Air Force throws a shindig, it is usually a thing of great beauty... as well-evidence by these USAF pix from the recently concluded 2005 Aviation Nation festivities at Nellis AFB.

We have got to make it to the next one of these shows... as it looks like it was QUITE the rush. This year's event, held Nov. 12 and 13, was dedicated to Vietnam War veterans with a special welcome home tribute. It drew more than 150,000 spectators.
