The Battle of [the] Midway



The fair at night is always a battle; especially when you're young.  We fought our way through the hoard of secondary school students, only to be attacked by cotton candy and snow cones.  Fortunately we had fast bikes and a natural resistance to spun sugar and green colored ice.  As for the hoard, we had no defense.



The onslaught of the midway left us ready for a good night's sleep in preparation for our pilgrimage to the holy tarmac to witness not 1 but three super planes.  If you look closely, you can see the two sailors inside their careening Hornet, and no I didn't flip the image, they were inverted over the strip.  The amazing ones saw fit to make their newest creation all the more silent then their previous birds of prey.  Both Hornets and Raptors are capable of 50 mph power stalls the length of a runway.
