San Diego, Miramar Air Show

Last Sunday we went to the San Diego Air show in Miramar. I have seen the Blue Angels show over the San Francisco Bay area two times but have not really attended an all day Air Show before until last Sunday. I am not into airplanes but Amor is (he is a pilot). Amor looked forward going to the Air Show for months and I was excited because he was. So we took some water, our chair, ear plugs and off we went. Our friends David and Allan came too. The event was bigger than what I had ever imagine! It was pack with people, there were all kinds of great exhibits everywhere and always some demostration show flying over the sky. We did not know where to look or be. When at the exhibits, we were missing the airplane shows. Since the exhibits had long lines we decided to go find a good place to sit and enjoy the Air show. We found a place with a good view of the the runway, I could not believe we were that close to the runway. The airplanes went by us slowly at first which allowed us to take a good look at the airplanes when going to get ready for take off, then they went by fast and loud as they took off. It was so great to watch the airplanes as we hear information about the pilot, the history of the airplane(s) and the different demostrations and simulations they were doing. The Blue Angels were the culmination of the show. This year is the Blue Angels 60th Anniversary Celebration so they did an extra long demostration. I was fantastic! We decided we come again next year but not for just one day, we will come one day to see the exhibits and the other day to enjoy the air show. The San Diego Fleet Week runs for a month so we could go two Sundays easily.
