we will be there tomorrow, they were flying right over top of our house, it was loud as hell. They were so low at one point, that I could read the writing on the bottom of the plane perfectly.

Do you work i that office building right on Ewing Road?? I thought that place would be an awesome lace to watch it, but I dont know if they will let you up there. I know the road is closed right now, but you can get up the road as far as that building.

I was there for that. My mom nearly had a heart attack. It was terrific. 🤣

It was definitely a cool experience to go to. They have a ton of stuff there besides the planes too. They have a Jeep and Chrysler driving experience things when you first walk in, but I didn’t get a chance to do it.

I am in the office building when bus 60 meets university blvd on the left…we are built on the old airport and the only thing that separates our parking lot and the F16’s is a chain link fence.

that wasn’t a thunderbird, it was an F-15. His demo today was very good.

The show was 11ty billion times better this year than last year. The thunderbirds put on a much better show than the Blue Angels.

I watched the f-15, f-18, f86 and a-10 demo and then went on the reserve base side to watch the thunderbirds. It was great seeing the show from a different perspective.
