The Angles were here at Andrews for our air show and then they stayed for the graduation at the Naval academy.

I was out there Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Blues were fantastic but the views on the water were even better. ;) We has purchased 400 strings of beads and didn't come home with a single strand, it looked like Mardi Gras West :chuckle:

Post by: cabin308 on August 08, 2008, 09:34:16 AM: Other than the practice on friday, does anyone know if there are more times over the weekend for the air show at Fairchild? My step-mom's birthday is saturday and her son is a USMC Major who just got home a few weeks ago. I was thinking this would be a fun trip for us all.
Thanks

The actual airshow is Saturday and Sunday. Here is the public website that has the schedule. If you come out Sunday morning, look for me at one of the burger booths, booth number 22. We'll be wearing 92 CS hats. Ask for Jake.
