The Thunderbirds always put on a great show for the crowds. Wear plenty of sunscreen and hydrate on what should be a fun day out.

Steve, Your way just might be a WEE bit far west and north for their fuel tanks :)

Anita, We attended some years ago, and the heat on the tarmac can get pretty intense. Definitely lots of hydration and sun screen for the day.

Peter and Linda, Saw the Snowbirds years ago in Halifax when I stopped their briefly on a Navy tour. Pretty good performers, and a large group too if memory serves. Bill

Kathy, That would be cool to watch!

Bill - This stuff amazes me. I believe I've only seen one (air show) and it was quite awhile back. Anything that I see that I am pretty sure I can't do intrigues me. This fits the bill.

Jason, One of the fringe benefits of attendance at Annapolis, guaranteed a Blue Angels performance every year for Commissioning Week in May. Just jaw dropping!

Looks like it's going to be a whole lot of fun!

Janet, They've got a bit of everything at this airshow, so other than the heat a fantastic time :) Hopefully it cools down some by the weekend, we're getting our hottest temps of the summer right now.

I see the Thunderbirds every year in November here during Veterans Day weekend! They put on an amazing show and this is a MUST SEE!

Jul 21, 2011 08:17 AM

Renee, No doubt the Thunderbirds kick butt. As a Navy guy, I'm a bit biased towards the blue flyboys thought :) Bill
