Miramar is an excellent show, I went in 2004, looks like the only difference is the Snowbirds are there and a skywriting team is not.  The skywriting team(name slips me, it was 5 years ago) only did 1 or 2 of their manuvers due to weather, extremely cloudy with a chance for rain.  I have wanted to go back to this show every year since.  I think the only show I liked better was at Edwards AFB.

The Miramar Air Show is excellent.  I've been fortunate enough to be a VIP guest in 2003.  The flight demonstrations were awesome and ground static displays were also excellent.  I plan on going.

I'm going, but I haven't been there before. Any suggestions on where to stay and parking? Best day to go. I was thinking Friday would be the best day.


Any other tips would be welcome.  ???

Last second plan, I am going to MCAS Miramar for the Sunday show.  Any specific spots to meet fellow members?  I normaly stand at the East end of the ramp on the line.  I will keep an eye out for you guys.

I believe the twilight show is on Saturday only, at least it was when I went.  I was a pretty awesome show.  Wish I knew how to take better night shots then.

I went to the Miramar Air Show this year.  I shot over 800 photos.  I think I have some good ones and I'll be posting some of the better ones to the forum over the next few days.
