I haven't been to one in ages.  The ones I remember were mostly if not all modern aircraft, which isn't my primary interest.  But it looks like they will have the Tora Tora Tora group there this year, so I will answer with a definite maybe.

Even though I like to see WWII era warbirds flying they aren't nearly as fun as the shaking in your chest from the modern high thrust fighters.

Call in sick... jump in a canoe... I'll pick you up on the other side of the I-55/I-64 bridge!

Jeez, as a kid growing up my dad was stationed at Scott...I went to a bunch of airshows there. 

We used to ride our bikes up the hill to Shilo to get candy, then zoom back down to the west gate.

I noticed on the aerial that scott school north and south seem to be inoperable now, and they tore down all the wherry housing over there.

Anyone else spend time at Scott?
