I went on Wed., and was rather dissapointed. It was $30 per person to get in, and the airshow was pretty boring. It was cool seeing a P-38 fly around, but the only jets I saw flying were L-39's. I'm glad I went, but I'm not going back next year if it still costs the same. I'm looking forward to the FREE airshow on Ft Lauderdale beach in a few weeks!!!

"Glacier Girl" (P-38 dug out of a Greenland glacier 240 some-odd feet down) was definately one of the stars of the show the entire week. The heritage passes with the P-51, P-38, F-4, and F-16 in formation were great! It would be nice to see more military flight demos, but it's a big EAA thing and I guess that's what a lot of people are there for.

I was there the whole week, but was stuck in a TV studio the whole time. Got to see a lot of good video from my field shooters when I edited the finale, though. Gotta go back to work to get some rest!! I swear, next year I'm gettin' out more!!

I went on Thursday and thought it was ok. Few years ago it was better I thought.

I went sunday...airshow wasn't anything that special...jets were ok, looking forward to air & sea show that will cost nothing and be about 100 times better.

It was the biggest air show I have ever been too....most the ones I have seen were at little aiports

I have been for the last 12 years. The show has definitely been deminishing over the last 3 years.

No heavy WWII bombers for the last 2 years and fewer and fewer warbirds.

I go mainly for the experimentals and to camp with buddys.

The show on Sat. was a sad sight compared to past events. Maybe fuel prices are to blame.

Maybe it wasn't as good as a few years ago, but how many times do you get to see a P-51 out there mixing it up? I don't get to very often, so it was pretty amazing. These have to be the coolest sounding piston aircraft aircraft around. That whistling sound right before the engine noise? Absoulutely amazing. Just imagine a flock of those things and how they sounded back in the day. Seeing the F-4 was cool too. Surprising how big that thing is.
