Pack up those noise-cancelling headphones, pack a picnic and find an airshow near you!
Why does IL only get one show and it’s in Chicago?? California gets 5. Florida gets 8. TX gets 4. We have Scott Air Force Base in Southern IL but we can’t get an air show? So not fair!! Chicago is at the very top of IL. Us southern IL folks don’t have a chance.
Hi.
Any probability of both teams performing at the same place any time in the close future?
Last time I saw them together was in JBA in MD, 2019.
Thanks
What time are the Blue Angels performing at the Dayton Air Show on July 30, 2022 ?
