How bad are the crowds?
We don't usually pay to see this stuff. All this was taken from outside the fence. See below for how we roll at duh Air races, yo!

The F22 demo would be best from the stands for sure. Also the static displays - lots of nice planes to see, touch, and climb aboard on the tarmac. The unlimited, sport, and jet races are *better* from the fenceline by far. Those 3000+hp unlimiteds usually fly 50' above your head at 400+mph on the first lap or two when they are bunched up.

If you want to join us we will be hitting the fence and "the hill" tomorrow again. Call me...
