All I know is that I'm going to see the Blue Angels next month in Alabama and again this fall in Redding, CA as well as here in San Francisco...

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


BigTruck:

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
