Saw them when I was a small kid. Every kid leaves there wanting to be a pilot someday!

Witnessed their show a few times.
A couple while on the water in Grand Traverse Bay.
Impressive for sure ! ! !
Imagine being in the cockpit...

So badass! My sister's old neighbor in SD is an USAF F16 pilot. 28 year old kid with some pretty rad stories. I tried talking him into a ride along, but he wasn't going for it. Told him I'd even pay for the fuel. Ha.

Yah, I would love to get a ride in a fighter jet...I have always wondered what it would cost to get inside one of those.

That's awesome video. Crazy how close they actually get to each other. I haven't seen it in a few years, but they used to fly over Glamis and do a few different tricks.

Great video.
I try to get to the Miramar Air Show every year. Parking and general admission is free, but I pay the $10 to get into the grand stands. I try to get the very last set and upper top corner to get the best photos. Either way its a great show, and they even buzz Mission Bay as they set up for some of their tricks. Here are a few shots I have taken over the years. The low res loose a little of the punch, and have a couple printed at 20 x 30 in the office. I will try to find some higher res ones at home to post.

I heard this is one of the best air shows around here....Was it last year or the year before they didnt have it because of the shut down?

Also in your old stomping grounds, Chesterfield Valley, we hit that air show at Spirit of St Louis airport often... They have some wild stuff there from time to time... We sit out on the Howell Island / monarch levee kind of inline with the runway... THe fighters turn around right over Lake St Louis and head back to the Chesterfield Valley airport, they some loud MOFOs...
