They are always cool. This is something everyone should see

I believe Julie Clark will be there as well.

Are you sure about those dates? The FAQ page only lists the 17th. http://www.edwards.af.mil/questions/topic.asp?id=812

I think that was posted before they cut the show down to only one day. It was initially going to be the usual two-day show.

Ooo.....   All three bombers are scheduled to fly - gotta keep the fingers cross for a formation of all three together. (They've done it once before).  Looks like a pretty good show, was suprised to see the F-22 demo team listed (certainly not a complaint of course, lol), since the closest date to the west coast on the ACC schedule has been the Holloman show's date.

If I remember right, the security screening, as far as camera bags go, was pretty similar to Miramar's. Except LONGER lines.

Can't wait

I'm thinking about getting a room the night before so I don't have to make that drive in the morning. Anyone interested?

Leaving at 3 in the morning is a great time to go

Wow, we'll get to see a three-ship bomber flight!!  That's worth going by itself!

Now, the question begs, what about camera bag backpacks?

I've had bad experiences with Edwards and the security and the past. One year took nearly 4 hours from the time we got on base till the time I walked onto the flightline. Missed most of the show sitting in traffic.

And if memory serves, all the flying is backlit.
