and took a photo or two. Rock County Air-Fest is happening. I saw this very large, dark cloud of smoke in the distance while on my ride today. I hope this is not a crashed aircraft. ![]() |

Does that look like the Twin Towers next to the smoke? |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

May have just been those pyrotechnics they light up when someone does a high-speed pass (or the rocket car). |

When we went to Oshkosh years ago, they had a low fly-by "bombing run" with a B-17 dropping all kinds of incendiaries in its path. It made a lot of smoke, fire and noise. |

I was going to ask about the possibility of a ground display as GK and 89th have just mentioned. Our big airshow was just two weekends ago - right across the little valley that butts up to our house. I had FA-18s doing barrel rolls just a few hundred feet over my head most of the afternoon. At some point, a flying formation of WWII era fighters came flying in - an entire squadron of them - and attacked the runway. Much booming, smoke, and fire ensued, making the sky near my house look much the same as your image. I too, hope it's not a crash. |

My favorite airshow video - from 2009: some pyrotechnics at 3:32 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKU0uQki5Dc (watch it at 720, full screen....and, of course, turn the volume up!) |
