Hmmm,

We sat on the end of the runway Saturday.
It was too good of a spot to leave.

Heres my take.

It was great to see things fly. It was horrible to listen to the radio and the ass of a controller throw his attitude to most of the pilots he encountered.
It took him until saturday afternoon to remember the T-6 ride airplane.
Every time the pilot called in he got asked "are you a part of the show?"
I heard several of our friends get turned away on Sunday because of the lack of clear responses from the ATC. If the TFR says 12:00 it doesnt mean 11:30! When you have a rookie with an attitude that cant handle 3 inbound aircraft at one time turn away airplanes, get someone who can!

Also, We watched a large amount of people stop at the area at the end of the runway looking for access to the airshow. People are really that stupid. "How do we get over there?" and "Can we get to see the airplanes?" were a few questions we were asked by others who parked down the street and walked past us.

And finally, (well not really but I have got to get back to work)
Why do you kick people out of the ramp at 4:00 and start the rides again at the same time? When we were sitting outside the gate at 4:00 we saw alot of disgusted people who wanted to see the B-17 and B-24 take off.
Thats what they paid for! Now they were asked to leave the ramp and watch them from behind a row of other aircraft and tents? Not a good idea to piss of all your guests.

WHERE WAS THE A-4?
