Went to my first military air show today at McGuire Air Force Base here in NJ... HOLY SHIT! The show ended with the Thunderbirds in F-16s but the F-15s impressed the hell out of me. LOUD! It was so awesome I wanted to cry and despite the sunburn I am still giddy from the experience. It was cool going through all of the aircraft on the ground and our daughters had fun walking through the cargo planes which are HUGE!!! Snapped off about 100 pics too. If you haven't gone to one of these shows I highly recommend it. It is fascinating and exciting. Don't forget the sunblock like we did. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

I have gone to a couple myself. Down there, you guys have the Blue angels and up here we have the snowbirds. Whenever we have the shows up here, there are usually alot of teams and pilots from the U.S. that come here to fly and show their stuff. There's some pretty impressive stuff and flying at these shows. Your shows are probably alot bigger than ours though.

Been to the Namao air show a few times but the most memorable would have been at Cartierville in Montreal - about 1966. Daryl Greenamyer (sp) had a clipped wing F-8 and would make 0 foot near supersonic passes over the main runway. I was 15 at the time and my head was firmly in the clouds (up until I REALLY discovered girls and pot)... What a rush....
