You're in for a treat -- the Andrews Armed Forces Day is one of the greatest defense exhibitions anywhere.  So popular have to shuttle the crowd in on buses, which also is an impressively smooth and convenient operation.

Im really pumped for the show....I just hope we get clear skies!  Rain all along the East Coast the entire week, so hopefully by next Saturday it's rained out with clear skies and 80 degrees!.......  HIGH SHOW BABY!

The website is saying the F-22 will be making a fly by....Has anyone seen the F-22 "fly by's yet?".....Will it be a single pass like I normally see with the Bone or the B-2, or will it make a couple passes and show off as much as it can for a non demo team aircraft?

The F-22 put on a demo-like show at Langley this year.
