Expect to witness breathtaking displays by top-level aerobatic teams and individual performer showcases that push the limits of flight. Additionally, there will be ground displays featuring military aircraft, giving visitors a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the machines that help protect our freedoms. Enthusiasts will have a chance to learn about the advanced technologies used by pilots today and gain insights into the missions that these courageous individuals carry out on a daily basis.

But this air show is not just about military prowess; it's a full-throttle festival designed for everyone. Families can enjoy interactive static displays, children's activities, food vendors, and more. The airshow is an excellent opportunity to create lasting memories, as it bridges the gap between the public and military service, allowing those who attend to engage with the members of the armed forces who keep our nation secure.

Holloman Air Force Base itself is an impressive venue—home to the world’s longest and fastest test track. Stretching nearly 10 miles and capable of reaching speeds close to Mach 9, the test facility underscores the importance of innovation in aviation technology. Visitors to the airshow will certainly feel the sense of pride that comes from standing on hallowed ground where history has unfolded and where future pilots are being trained.

Chasing Shadows of the Past: A Railroad Adventure with Kansas City Southern's Vintage F-Series Locomotives

To my excitement, I spotted a set of vintage FP9/F9B diesel locomotives resting on a bridge over the 110 freeway while driving toward downtown. My enthusiasm for the F-series locomotives compelled me to navigate some of Louisiana's poorly designed streets (and that’s saying something) to get close to the railyard. I made my way through what felt like a jungle that belonged somewhere in Borneo, only to climb a steep hill to reach the railyard.

Just a Thought: Designed by God | Pastor Steve Smothermon

Designed by God Psalm 139 is a profound reminder of God's intimate knowledge and omnipresence in our lives. The psalm opens with a declaration of God's deep knowledge of the individual: "O Lord, you have searched me and known me." This knowledge is not just superficial awareness, but a profound, penetrating understanding of all our ways. The psalmist acknowledges that before a word is on our tongues, God knows it completely. This reveals a God who is not distant or disinterested but is deeply engaged with the intricacies of our lives, understanding our thoughts and actions better than we understand them ourselves.
