    Sadly I'm not going to be able to sneak away for the afternoon. All of the family has the crud.

    I was debating kayaking out into the oso dropping anchor and watching.

    The show was on the water on the north side of NAS. Kinda cool, but we didn't get to watch any takeoff action.

    These were the highlights for me;

    1) Coast Guard demo of water rescue

    2) F-22 Raptor demo

    3) V-22 Osprey Demo

    4) P-51 Mustang

    5) Blue Angels



    That said, we have been going to air shows yearly since 2007, and this is the first year there was just too much down time. Usually time between military flights is filled with civilian flights, really good ones, and some ground based activity. Since this was over the water there were no jet powered buses or outhouses to fill the time. And for reasons unknown to me there were only two civilian flyers. I didn't mind so much, but you could tell it was hard on those with kids and bored wives....
