I definitely plan on attending Reading. I'd like to get down to Millville, since I haven't been there since '03. I've never even been to McGuire, so that's a maybe. The AC show is way to far in advance to even give a guess.

I will definitely be at AC, if my parents don't want to go this year, I'll just drive myself down. The others I'm not so sure of. Being a junior in high school it's time to start looking at colleges, and weekends in May seem to be a prime time for open houses and the like. Maybe I can convince my dad to take me to McGuire since I'm going AFROTC in college, hopefully Rutgers New Brunswick, and plan on working my ass off so my CO will nominate me for one of the Navigator slots.

EDIT Bah, system filters as... out. Not like the kids haven't heard the word before...

Reading is the only one I can't make which ticks me off!!!!

No telling yet which ones I'll make, but I WILL be at Airventure this year...  ;D

At least AC should be bearable this year. Since we don't have the Blue Angels the beach won't be completely packed. I liked last year's show, but I think the 05 show was better because you could get better seats and had more than a postage stamp of beach to claim as your own.

LOL! We need to have an afternoon/evening show so the sun is at our backs. I wanted to get a nice piece of beach for the show last year, but for some reason my mother didn't want to get there at 8:00...

McGuire AFB just updated the web site.  The line-up is getting better!!

Here are some of the aircraft that will be there.
A-10, B-1, B-52, C-5, C-17, C-130, CV-22, E-2C, F-15C, F-15C, F-22, F/A-18,
HC-130, KC-10, KC-135, V-22, B-17, B-25, C-9, C-45, C-47, C-54, P-40, P-51,
AN-2, TBM, F-4 and a whole lot more!!

Also Patty Wagstaff will be there.  I never seen her perform live and I'm looking forward to that!!

[elite marksman]

I think I'm gonna make my dad take me now! If the -22 display is anything like the one at AC last year, the hell of getting on base will be worth it, not to mention the V-22, and Wagstaff. Plus, my dad, whose father served in the AAF during WWII, would like the B-17, B-25, P-40, and P-51, plus the plane of his generation, the F-4.

[Willit Run]

Yeah, I be going through the hell of getting in and out of the base but, it will be worth it!!

My best friend's dad flew -135's out of McGuire. He says if I go, he'll get me into restricted areas.

So watch for me pointing and laughing at you all.

What, your not going to ask if you much older brother can come with you!!

Are all the aircraft going to be there on both days? I will probably be there the 13th since my dad works Saturdays.

From what I can tell, yes they will be there both days!!

 Now I just ran into a problem for the Mcguire show, Mother's day is Sunday the 13th.
I have to see if I can make it on Saturday.  It's going to be tough!!
