Over the weekend my wife and I went to go see the Balloon Illume and Fireworks show at the Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show & Balloon Festival at the W.K. Kellogg airfield. This is a huge annual fourth of July event that happens 
every year.
Regretfully I had never actually attended the festival myself, and only watched fireworks from afar and chased balloons around town over the years.
This year we went to go see the balloons illuminated at night, which I wrote another post about already on this. A added treat was in store for us after the balloon Illume was
over, and it had gotten dark. As part of the pre-fireworks show, there was an night time air show.
This Night Air show featured planes flying around spewing flames and shooting fireworks from their wings. It was quite spectacular to witness, and it became one of our favorite parts of the evening. I was lucky enough to have shot some video while watching, and I created this yesterday.
The show was really amazing to watch as a spectator. The pilot at many times appeared to be flying directly into the flames he was creating, so it made it kind of dangerous. It was probably one of the best surprise events I have seen in a long time.
I hope you enjoy the video.
