I loves me some Pt Mugu. Too bad they don't have a jet team. I'll be there anyway... its been sad the last few years that they haven't had a show. 2007 was killer.

I was told at Cable that the Sept date has been moved to August, as the Moffet Field show cancelled and Mugu was able to get the Thunderbirds on that date. I have not seen any confirmation of this......yet. Stay tuned.

That would be sweet!!  If they get the T-birds, I might have to make the 350 mile round trip to the show.

After being there in the past, I'd never miss it. Incredible vapor, and an awesome base to get a chance to visit.

I had a flightline tour back in the mid-90s when I was in JROTC, I was one of 2 from my unit that attended a future military leadership conference and Pt Mugu was one of the stops. Test P-3s, F-14s and A-6s taxiing all around us, the Tomcats were taking off in burner. I wish I was into photography back then... Test squadron Intruders and Tomcats... Would have been killer photo ops.

Weak lineup of military flying. If I'm not working I'm planning on going one of the days.

I'll be at the Pt. Mugu show for sure. Hopefully it will be an awesome "Vaporfest". <tcat>

This is my first time going to Point Mugu and I am really looking forward to it.
Even though The Thunderbirds will be there. I am a true blue fan.

Remember, you can't photoshop with the naked eye!

Yeah this one's gonna be weak indeed. Of course nothing can top the 2007 Vaporfest, but hopefully we'll still see a little bit come off the A-10 like last time, of course the Bug will show some, some of the Tbird passes, and well I was hoping the rumored B-2 pass would be a photo pass and that might see some vapes, but it's not listed anywhere officially. I've got the assignment from World Airshow News for this one, but if I didn't have that, I'd only go one day. Hopefully some of the statics will be color birds.
