My dad's been to every show since the mid-sixties, I've been there every year from from the time I was in a stroller and I'll be there this weekend for the 29th time. Political views on military, war, etc. aside, it is amazing to see how powerful those jets are. The only thing that can top it is seeing the space shuttle launch (seen that too, you're about 7 miles away and it shakes you body from the inside out). Check out the show if you can, it's free but if you drive down parking will be around $25.
