[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 373393, member: 8330"] Sounds like you're going to the same show I just attended. The edges (left and right) of the crowd can give you some interesting perspectives especially on their approach runs. And it's not as crowded on the edges. If you pick an edge try the side that has where they start their take-off and where they first touch down to land. The middle will give you the best looks at the flyby tricks (near collisions, etc.) In my mind there are two aspects to the show, going around the parked planes and watching the airshow. Even if you didn't like some of the acts in the air (my least favorite was the clown helicopter), the breaks aren't really long enough to walk around the parked planes then get back into position for the next airshow entertainer. So I would either get there earlyish and do the walking and then get set for the airshow or try to walk around after the blue angels. My favorite part was the F-22. Getting food or drinks can take a long time so plan accordingly. Every year (as it was told to me) the Blue Angels go up late. Our day they were slated for 3pm but didn't get started till 4pm.
