Miramar Air Show 2009

[aim9xray]

Rain is not showing in the forecast I'm looking at...  Low pressure front is moving in next week.

This is the year we get a cloud-free airshow.

I look at Intellicast (Has a 10-day forcast) and there looks to be know rain or chance on the horizon...Then again it is still 9 days out.

...Well, don't be surprised if it does anyway, weather has a tradition to uphold.

I know...part of me is fighting the urge to even saying anything and not jinx it.  I was simply making the observation that for the first time in a while the 10 day forcast says nothing of clouds/rain.

OK, now i will shut up about the weather!

I can remember when the show was in August and it was routinely 120 degrees plus reflecting off the tarmac.

I spent 17 Years assigned to squadrons ( VF-2, VF-114, VF-124)at Miramar. I know full well how how hot the tarmac at Miramar gets in august and even into september. It seems that the only time you see clouds in august is when the air show is at Miramar in august. THe only time you see rain in October is when the Miramar Air Show is in October.

Legend speaks of these odd lighting effects called shadows and highlights and apertures of f11 or f16.  Shooting the flybys will mean dealing with glare and this slowly moving extremely bright point light source called the sun.  With this illumination, Marine Corps aircraft could appear to have something called color (other than red from leaking hydraulic fluid).  (Shocking, I know, but that is what has been handed down from wise man to wise man since airshow immemorial.)  It is also written that this "color" is something related to Hi-Viz, but this was probably written when the Great Yellow God of Rochester produced some translucent analog media called Kodachrome (and exaggeration with each retelling is to be expected). 

There is more to be told of the old legends from the misty dawn of time (such as when the Tomcat roared at Miramar and Uncle Sam's Misbegotten Children were but guests at Fightertown USA), but it is late and that is all for tonight's bedtime story, young Padawan.

No backtalk at bedtime - or you'll be out looking for 30 yards of flightline and two gallons of Microdol-X - and pondering the illogic of reciprocity success at the crack of dawn!
