This was my first trip to Fairchild AFB and it was a great show. Weather was a factor however as extremely high winds kept most civilian performers grounded; especially on Sunday when some serious schedule juggling had to take place. A personal highlight was seeing an Osprey for the first time; this example being a USAF CV-22. This CV-22 is the first production Osprey for the USAF and its maiden flight was March 1, 2006; less than 5 months before the photographs below were taken.
