I don't mind the snowbirds as a supporting act to the Blue Angels. They make for some cool formation shots.

I will be there for at least 2 of the days. I might do the twilight show for the first time this year, is it worth it?

not really....
If you've never seen it before....maybe.  But when one of the highlights is a hang glider with sparklers on it, i think i will pass.  When they bring the Bone back for afterburner passes, like in 2004, then i will go back.
   
Here is the 2010 schedule
• AV-8B Harrier Vertical Take-Off and Landing Demo (same as daytime demo)
• Shockley's "ShockWave" Jet Truck (cool)
• Sean Tucker, "Oracle Challenger" (same as daytime demo)
• TAPs at Sunset (if you can here it)
• Fat Albert Demo (What good is this if there is no JATO)
• U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team (ok)
• Bill Leff, "Starfire Night Skyshow" (Ok)
• Shockley's "ShockWave" Jet Truck (You are stretching the show out if you have to do it twice in the twlight show)
• Bret Willat, "Sailplane Magic" (LAME!!!)          
• Steve Stavrakakis, Romanian IAR (ehh)
• Dan Buchanan's Special Effects Power Glider (LAME!!!)
• Robosaurus (ehh)
• F/A-18 Afterburner Passes (FLIPING AWESOME)
• Spectacular Fireworks Display(ok)
• Great Wall of Fire – An Incredible, Intense Inferno (same as the last 20 years)

Here is my better version
5:30-9:30 - High speed jet afterburner passes <rocker> <rocker> <rocker>

AS for Afterburner passes at night,, They need a Tomcat and an F-15 for opposing take offs, Two aircraft with sufficient fuel avialable to make it
a truely AWESOME display.
