Just got home from NAF El Centro. Pretty good show met some nice people in the media area. Here are a few observations for me:


1. The performance area is a considerable distance from the viewing areas. It was hard to get photos of some the smaller aircraft due to the distance.

2. Long walk to the portables. Man if you had to go you better being running.

3. Limited amount of vendors at the airshow. Man I thought gasoline was the most expensive liquid. I love paying $3 for a 16 oz. bottle of water.


Overall a pretty a good day at El Centro. Look forward to what others have to say as well.

After the airshow I went to AZ to catch some MLB spring training.  Bottled water was $4/botle at the Giants/Rangers game. 

I'll be putting some pix up in a day or so.
