Always liked the Blue Angels...till I saw the Thunderbirds. Wow!

Is Pussy Galore’s flying circus going to perform?

I've never gotten out to the air show but I'd sure like to check it out sometime.

You know what just bugs me... well not that it’s a huge deal... but often these websites for local newspapers don’t tell you what STATE they are published in.

Macomb, Illinois?

I once flew out of Moline the weekend before the Blue Angels were scheduled to perform there at Quad Cities. The F-111 were all lined up over by the Fire Safety building. We taxied right past them... it was pretty need seeing these aircraft up close like that.

Sweet! Will be in the St. Clair Flats for the weekend and will potentially boat over to Metro Beach area to watch. Have to figure out what the security will be before I decide to get in the car and drive over to be at the field.

Used to live right along Metro Pkwy late 80's through early 90's and always got to see fighters come in for a landing. Out on the flats they used to patrol, say lots of F-4 Phantoms flying at about 500'.

pleased they are flying - I had read they were grounded because of sequester cuts.

Selfridge used to put on a great show back in the 70's...especially with the Confederate Air Force.

...was there in ('77?) checking out one of their classics when some idiots threw red paint-filled balloons at the B-29(FiFi)to protest "the glorification of war"(or something).
