East Lake Homes For Sale In Columbia SC

Columbia SC This past weekend McEntire Joint National Guard Base sponsored an airshow that featured dozens of military planes and ground vehicles and the Golden Knights paratroopers.

About 1,200 men and women train at the base that is the home of the 169th Fighter Wing.

The SC Air National Guard has flown F-16s since 1983, with over 2,600 combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Saturday was a beautiful clear sunny day for the event but unfortunately I went on Sunday with a 900' cloud ceiling and the air show was limited.

That didn't stop me from climbing in the planes and getting some great shots.

It's hard to believe that some of these large cargo planes can make it off the ground.

As you can see there were a lot of families out enjoying the show

There was no entrance or parking fee and all expenses were covered by concession sales. We enjoyed our share of burgers and hot pretzels.

No true airshow would be complete without a P-51 Mustang or two

Finally the clouds broke up partially and some smaller planes took to the air

This was a nice surprise. I have never seen a custom chopper at an air show before.

No story would be complete without a little bathroom humor. (Courtesy of Nature's Calling)

Irmo SC Okra = Yuck

Attention: Anyone who has never tried okra. Consume at your own risk!

I first tried the slimey stuff back in the '70s and knew right away I didn't require a second opinion. But for some reason a few years ago I had a weak moment and tried it again. Bad move. It was just as disgusting.

There seems to be no middle ground with okra....love it or hate it. No one will ever tell you "It's alright".

This Saturday the Irmese of Irmo will kick off the annual Okra Strut, which began as a spoof by a radio DJ in 1973.

Today the festival is managed by the board of commissioners appointed by the Irmo Town Council and are proud to say, "we are the nation's original celebration of Okra." The festival is now a two day event featuring a street dance, parade, arts and crafts, rides and amusements, petting zoo, and lots of festival food. Attendance for the celebration is estimated at 55,000 annually.

Money raised by the festival is put back into the community through civic and school organizations, scholarships and improvements of public areas.

Not bad for a slimey little critter grown in the red clay of Lexington County.
