Pack up those noise-canceling headphones and plan out a picnic lunch and find an airshow near you!
Don’t you think you could go one year without air shows? With .Covid going on, you are incouragging gatherings. As a war Vet and person at the Ram Stein air show crash, air shows brings me a day of PTSD.
Subdue the fear factor, relax enjoy, keep 6′ distance if you are that concerned.
