I drove 3 hours in 98 degree heat....I would do it all over again...it was that good.
Truly, this is the best show I have ever been to. You can talk to the pilots and inspect each aircraft like you are the chief mechanic. That is how close you can get. When they fire them up to fly, you only need to stand back 20 feet. Smell the exhaust, feel the prop pushing the air. Really, up close and personal. Last year was the first time I went and I was blown away by it all because it was all close up and personal. Not like a museum were everything is roped off. It is in your face cool.
