Reply With QuoteIsnt the one in OshKosh Ohio supposed to be the biggest?
I go to Willowgrove NAS usually....that's a real good show too, but not THAT big.
Hello, I have been to several airshows in my life but I have always wanted to see the DOD show at Andrews AFB. Has anyone ever been? Is it the best military airshow or is there another?
Thanks,
S

Yes but that is more about civilian owned planes I believe. The DOD show I have heard is the largest Military show of its kind. I was just wondering if someone here had ever been and could tell me what it was like or if it is the biggest.Originally Posted by M21Sniper

I have, there used to be an annual air show at NASA Ames Research Center / Moffett NAS in Mt. View, California, fifthteen miles from my house. It was free to enter the base and to park your car. You can bring your own food in coolers if you want. The grandstand seats you have to pay for but, there are acres of room to watch the airshow. They are at 'show center'. There were lots of exibits and aircraft to see or walk through.
At NASA Ames/Moffett NAS I have seen the Blue Angels (USN), the Thunderbirds (USAF), Red Arrows (UK), Snowbird (Canada), Smoke Squadron (Brazil), Freece Tricolori (Italy) flight demonstration groups. I have also travelled up to 150 miles to Beal AFB and Travis AFB to see the Thunderbirds.
A very enjoyable time for a family for little money.
I enjoy your quote from Gen Ripper. I took my younger brother and saw it the first time in 1964. It was the first movie that I saw which indicated that a fair number of people watch movies with their brains switched off!
