Great show- we paid for seats in a hospitality area- shade, places to sit and watch, reasonably clean porta-potties, and ice water. Highlights: all the local squadrons have really beautiful commander's birds. Only got shots of a couple of squadrons before camera packed it in, though. On the civilian side were a nice B-25 (apparently belonging to Air Classics magazine) and an FAA DC-3 in a gorgeous orange and white paint job. Finally got to see an E model Super Hornet up close. They did a really great firepower demo with major pyro effects, ending with a mass flyover (KC-130 refueling 2 CH-53s- LOUD!). All in all, worth the sunburn.
