The Oregon International Air Show turned on the turbo thrusters for its second day at the Hillsboro Airport Saturday, Aug. 6.

That was especially true when tufts of vapor flashed off the wings of an F/A-18 Super Hornet as it approached the sound barrier, making a noise like the sky was cracking open. But a whole fleet of other planes kept spectators eyes glued to the wonderfully blue sky, from the tiny, homebuilt "Wild Blue" to a part-airplane, part-helicopter U.S. Marine Corps V-22 Osprey.

This year's show honors the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks, and a simulation of that fateful day with historic Japanese and American fighter planes made for arms full of patriotic goose bumps.

The Breitling Jet Team, the show's headliner from France, capped off four hours of neck-bending performances with crisscrossing synchronized stunts that left mere feet between planes. If you go to Sunday's show, just prepare to feel the urge to hum "Danger Zone" for most of the day.

The Oregon International Air Show continues Sunday, Aug. 7, at the Hillsboro Airport. Tickets are $25 and the show starts around noon.
