Just ran a search and saw nothing about the biggest aviation event in the world this month. Am I mistaken?
 
Went up for three days. Got up this morning, gave my tix to a foreign visitor and went home. Boring, half empty, several famous planes either no shows or static display.... few airshow performers, no real fly bys....it's dying...
 
But a bunch of idiots running back and forth bouncing a ball on the floor attracts a bunch of attention. Amazing in a sad way.
 
Sport Class is growing, and getting faster! First place Bronze was 229 MPH last year - this year 270! Top Gold qualifier was over 400 MPH...
 
I went 7 years in a row and crewed on my brothers if1 team. Haven't been back since the crash, just hasn't been the same.
 
I've heard after the crash it just hasn't been the same with all the restrictions. Went in '99. Something special.
