Back in the day I saw the Blue Angels at China Lake--they were still flying Skyhawks.  It would be so cool if they came back.

The last official air show was back in 1993 - one of the best in house show put on, the airpower demo(10 Hornets,A-6,NTA-4,EA-6B,Harriers,& huey cobras from VX-5 & VX-31.  20 TIMES better than Miramar MAGTF!
