Monaco Air - Duluth Air Show
Duluth, MN
July 8, 2006

Protesters of the Event: My response to his statement? Yes, they are weapons, and since we paid for them, I want them to entertain me if they aren't currently needed for war. Protesters of the Event: They just don't get it...
  Monaco Air ran all of the vendor booths, and we got a safety check by their staff for proper food handling and such.

An ALQ-188 ECM pod mounted on a Duluth 148th F-16 aircraft. The AN/ALQ-188 Electronic Attack Training Pod provides generic capability to simulate enemy threat electronic countermeasures for aircrew training and weapons evaluation.
M61 20mm cannon on the F-16. Note there are no powder burn marks on the firing port. They probably don't get to fire AA cannon fire very often.

An F-15C Air Interceptor doing a 2000-ft. runway rotation takeoff display.
This F-15C went vertical from a 2000-ft. runway rollout to 35,000 feet in less than 2 minutes without a stall.
A Navy F-18 Super Hornet, at the verge of breaking the sound barrier.
