im not going..but i got new glasses today from my local sams club.....$473.95,for two pair...hokey smokes....anyway..the woman who waited on me and i got to talk last week about airshows..so i asked her if she would make any this year...she will..BUT she is leaving (or left) at noon today to go to Luke to be with her hubby who is a civillian..but he works with the thunderbirds and she goes to all the shows...was a fun chat we had
Well, I went on Saturday.
What a mess. I thought I would go early and got there about 1/2 hour before it opened. Had to stand in line for over an hour. The security check was something else. Talk aout overkill! I mean, do you really have to check the cash in your wallet? People were turned away for the littlest thing, like a diaper bag for the baby. I know there needs to be a security check, but this was ridiculous.
Highlight for me was the F-22 and the heritage flight. Good to see an F-4E and the accompaning noise back in the air. Also enjoyed talking with the Singapore F-16 crews there.
BTW, the demo by the Red Bull Helicopter was unbelievable. Didn't know helicopters could do those things
