I might attend this airshow and I saw on Accuweather is rain possible and only 70 degrees. Not sure if I'll attend this one.

Im guessing Accuweather forecasting 11 days out is less than accu-rate.  forecasts are 50:50 on the next day usually...

in any case, im planning to go

[billmccarroll]

I'll be there (at El Centro) on Friday and plan to go to Riverside at the end of the month

A few of mine...taken in a field across 32nd Avenue from the north end of the runway...I was in line for the shuttle in the parking area, but after waiting almost 40 minutes I decided it wasn't worth it....

I was in line for the shuttle in the parking area, but after waiting almost 40 minutes I decided it wasn't worth it....

yea, that wasn't the greatest...  it took some crafty thinking to get out of there in less then 3 hours.

[DKuhlow]

the parking area I was in was at the far southwest end of the base at a parking pad. The Marines doing the parking detail park cars at the 4 corners, then start filling in the pad. They create pickup lines at all 4 parking areas, shuttles start loading at everyline except mine. When we say something, we're told there is a limited number of shuttles for our parking area, and when more come available they would be coming to our area. When we said something it had been 30 minutes since the last shuttle at our line. I waited another 10 and that is when the Marine in charge of the parking detail made his announcement. That is when I left.
