The 2006 airshow at Hill Air Force Base is set to start at 8 AM at Hill this Saturday, June 10, 2006.
I’m kind of excited! I haven’t been to an airshow since Andrews Air Force Base as a kid. We’re packing up two families, taking a pair of vans, and planning on having a good time.
When was the last time you were at an airshow? Would you do it again?
Beyond the Marines rappelling from a helicopter, the main thing I remember from my last airshow was the fierce sunburn…
Airshows..
Anyone who goes to Airshows are comparable to Joseph Stalin. Wait a tick.. sorry, wrong forum.
Oh, and Blue Angels ROCK

The last Air Show…
The last air show i have been too, other than static displays in the service, was actually with you and your dad in H.S (?). I don’t remember the year, it could very well be Jr. High as well. We picked up a girl friend of yours, Tammy is popping into my mind as her name, on the way.
Don’t remember many more specifics, Cool Harrier demo, blue Angels demo, ummm yeah..
Cool Stuff.. Have fun this weekend.

Hill AFB Air Show
The last air show that i went to was at Shaw AFB, SC. I got the privelege of swearing in with the Thunderbirds there! It was a life time experience! But now that i am enlisted i have to help work the air show here at hill afb! Its going to be fun and bad at the same time! Hope yall have fun!
Great time!
It was a great time. I got a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I got to speak with the pilot of one of only three remaining Japanese Zeroes after his show. I explained that I built and flew model aircraft, and was interested in taking some pictures of the cockpit layout for a scale Zero.
He told me to come back later, when the crowd around his plane was smaller, and he’d let me not only climb up to take pictures, but sit in the cockpit! I did so, and have the video to prove it 🙂
Got some great cockpit shots, too. It is funny, though, that if I wanted to build a scale model of this Zero, it would include a lot of English so that the American pilot could read it…
