We went to the 2015 Joint Base Andrews Air Show today. Had to leave early so as to make it to KOTH ;). (And to also get one of the kids to a party :)).

Show was cut back a bit this year due to budget issues.
You will know it when you see it:

Now I thought that it was interesting that they let him fly around and do all sorts of low level tricks for the kids for at least 10 minutes after it happened.

At Andrews AF Base?
Wow I miss out on everything.

I am pressed for time, so real quick, I got these ready a few days ago, could not post until now.
I only had about 2 hours at the show (had to get kid to some party).
Not one word in local press about that aileron!
Tips for if you go next time:
• Security lines were barely OK (1 hour wait for us). If you had any type of bag you had to wait for a hand search. If you didn’t have anything, you could get through the no bags line quickly.
• Offsite parking filled up quick.
• Try to get someone with a DOD badge to get you in; otherwise it is off to the offsite parking lots.
• Offsite parking filled up quick. (Once filled that is it – you cannot get in!)
• Try to go to Branch Ave lot first – FedEx field a pain.
• If you are going to bring a camera or something and so are going to have to go through the hand search anyway, bring a chair!
Pics:
“B-25J “Panchito,” named after the feisty rooster from Disney’s animated musical The Three Caballeros, was a bomber with the 396th Bomb Squadron, 41st Bomb Group, 7th Air Force, stationed in the Central Pacific. After several attacks on various Japanese strongholds in Southern Japan as well as Japanese help Eastern China, she was scheduled for another bombing run to Japan on the day the Japanese surrendered.”
