gtirob01, that schedule looks awful similar to the one here! But I suppose many of these people just travel together to perform.

I got to see the Blue Angels 2 years ago, thoroughly enjoyed their performance. I hope to see some photos from you

It is indeed a similar schedule with many of the same performers! Definitely gotta go for the B-1 and F-22 demos. The Bone in person is simply awesome!

Would have liked to see the T-birds tho. Having lived close to NAS/MCAS Miramar most of my life... all I ever saw was the Blues. But it looks like this years Miramar air show will be a good one. It says the Snowbirds will be in town! http://www.miramarairshow.com/index.html
