Booked hotel last night. Good to go

Should definitely be there Sunday, still bartering with work to get Saturday off.  It looks promising though, they know I'm 'hooked'.  By the way Robert, thanks for the hotel room!

I'll be in the Flight Deck chalet on Saturday.

What's Friday like? Never been on Friday, but for the first time in a long time, I can swing that day off work. Figure spend the night and double back on Saturday as well.

Snowbirds are an impressive show for those who haven't seen them.

Fridays are nice and less crowded.  Sometimes you get arrivals too so not everyone is there.  But after speaking to flygirlpainter(Shayne), guess they have to be there by Thursday.   Not sure if that applies to the military crews as well.  Traffic getting out is better too!!!  That's my big reason

Sunday only for me this year.

While stationed at NAS Miramar. i must have at 12 aair shows in the 17 years I was based there on active duty. Thursday was usually a day that most of the visiting aircraft arrive and some very memorable and unique flying takes place. I have seen 3-4 very memorable thing over the years just being there on thursday. Unforunately I had so camera avialabe to get some shots. If anyone goes on thursday maake sure your camera is ready.

Also, the schedule is a bit more fluid on Fridays.

Well, I am in for Friday already.. Bought grandstand seats already... 

It's been a few years since we last saw each other at an airshow (Chino a couple years ago I think).  Maybe I'll see you at Miramar this year.  I'll probably be hanging out in the eastern corner of the grandstands (with all those other Fencecheckers).
