Didn't make it today but plan on going tomorrow....If anyone is going and would like to meet up PM me with your cell...I should be there around 9AM.

Even though the wx looks bad, its a great static show, and from what I hear, even though it was limited to a flat show, all the fighters that flew just tore up the sky in afterburner all day....

hope 2 see some of u

it was a tough couple days. the weather was brutal and the traffic worse. a shame that the base is closing and that was that was the last hurrah... im gonna miss the 15s flying over my house

Maybe Saturday was bad, but today was incredible! Quit possibly the best airshow i've ever seen (aside from nearly passing out from being on the edge of heat stroke), but in regards to the flying, it was freaking awesome...

The home town F-15's and their never ending missed approaches were just amazing...My ears are still ringing!

On a side note...Civil Air Patrol is hilarious! I'm pulling in today and see a 15 year old 2 or 3 start general, dressed in full battle gear like he was off to Iraq. Gotta love it!

i wish i went today, but i was busy outdoors all morning and i figured that it would take 2 hours with the traffic to get on base. (would have made more sense to walk from my house)

i read in the paper today that they're still gonna do airshows there, which i guess is ok, but i still will miss the air guard once they pack up. first f-15 are going off in a month or so.

Went Sunday, had a great time, kids went wild to be able to sit in the cockpits of several planes....
The flights were great, I’ll leave it to the pilots to explain what hey did.
