Airshow in Dayton Ohio was held on July 17th & 18th. In 2011 it will be held on 23rd & 24th of July. Make sure to block these dated in your calendar. It is a spectacular event. The airshow starts around 11AM. There was a huge display of static airplanes ranging from fighters, warbirds, private jets. Make sure to reach there early so that you can have a look at this display. Also, there were few RV and Automobiles on display.
Airshow started with an opening ceremony by skydiving team at around 11AM. It was followed by an amazing performance by professionals. AeroShell Acrobatic Team performance was the best in the first half of the show. An hour break is followed by demonstrations of Super Hornet, Fighting Falcon, and C-11. Performance by Kayal and Amanda Franklyn is worth mentioning. I really wonder how these pilots take all the +ve and -ve G's !!!!!!
And there was a school bus which topped a speed of around 350mph with its fighter jet engines. I would have never been late to my school if my school bus was this good :)
The last performance was by U.S Blue Angels which is breathtaking. This performance by an elite team of Navy, in their Hornets, is the show stopper. Lots and lots of food stalls were there. But if you have any special diet requirements (like vegan) better pack your own stuff. do not forget to take your chairs, umbrella, picnic bag, water, and sunblock. Lots of demo planes crafted out of wood and other merchandise was available in the gift shop.
Finally, if you have a chance to visit an airshow, never miss it.
