Of Cardinals and Flying Things

The Arizona Cardinals football team made it to the Superbowl. They played a good game. Not great, but good with some great highlights. But for a last-minute Steeler touchdown, they would be celebrating as Superbowl Champions.

Even without the win, some 4000 Cardinal fans in Arizona were on hand to celebrate their return and congratulate them on the best season they have ever had.

At the airport, there was an official welcome and some congratulation speeches from local dignitaries inlcuding Arizona's new governer, Jan Brewer. After this, the team boarded a caravan of buses.

A short time later, at the Cardinals practice facility in Tempe, News Chopper 3 was overhead, presumably gathering footage of some of the team or staff making a stop on their way home.

news, helicopter, chopper

Has anyone realized that I enjoy taking pictures of flying things like helicopters? You can see more of my vehicle photos here.

Any football fans reading this? Did anyone go to the cardinals welcome rally? Any favorite ads?

  1. You just don't let up on the flying things, eh? =)

    I'm delighted to hear that the Arizona club wasn't treated badly for their hard-fought loss.

    If public recognition of really excellent work no matter the final outcome is becoming a trend, I couldn't be more delighted.

    Enjoy that lovely weather!
