I hear you, but yes... Air shows are fun and all, I just love the air shows we get fighting fires. The tankers even fly lower a lot of the time. Plus, you never know what is going to happen. Whereas I can tell you the entire demo profile of the Superbug, Raptor and the Blues. At a fire, one minute you're watching a helicopter in the distance, the next minute a P-3 crosses a ridge line diving right down over your head.

Don't get me wrong, I love all the air show stuff. But they're scheduled and never a surprise, so if something unscripted happens, I'd rather chase after that.

Just as long as you are not the ones starting them....j/k

I can see the headlines now:  Aviation photographer sets fire to see action

LOL... if I were going to I would have had to by now. This is one of the slowest seasons in recent memory.

The firefighters are just as pissed off about the slow season. Of course it's taboo for the public to hear it. They think firefighters sit around all day hoping nothing ever happens.

OK, I'm in.   Leaving Palmdale at the crack of dawn.

Is there a "better" gate to enter through once I get down there?

"Other performances will include the Canadian Snowbirds military precision flying team and a demonstration by the Marines that incorporates, for the first time, the MV-22 Osprey – the aircraft that takes off like a helicopter but flys like a plane."

Looks like the Osprey is going to be part of the MAGTF Demo this year. I haven't seen that fly at Miramar since 2006

I have no problems at the main gate, but then I get there early and wait in the parking lot across the street until they open gate.
