I've got to say it......I didn't like the way Miramar puts on their airshow. The acts were great but the setup was terrible. I've been going to the Nellis airshow for the last 10 or so years and they set it up better. Miramar has too many bleachers that completely block out the static displays from the action. Nellis has very few bleachers with most viewers standing or using lawn chairs. Without the bleachers, you can wander the static displays and still see the flying action. It also cost a lot more money to see the show at Miramar than Nellis - because to see it any good you had to sit in the bleachers and they charged to sit in the bleachers. Admission is free at both but Nellis doesn't have the bleachers.....and the free admission at Miramar doesn't do any good because of those damn bleachers......
Anyway, you get the idea.
MIDNJAC - I went by VMFAT-101's booth and plane three times (twice before noon and once late afternoon) and no one answered up to your handle or being on Airwarriors. In fact, only Navy I saw in the booth was a chick NFO.
