Would be fun!

There are many shows in the MilAvia link above...I've chosen a few to spotlight based on this criteria:

1) Performers
2) Convenience to attend (more on this below)
3) Location for other activities (restaurants, entertainment, family, golf)

I am highlighting these few shows - (more when I have more time)

10-11 - Thunderbirds - Scott AFB, St. Louis, Mo.
(Deft's bar, the Pump House would be perfect meeting location; Museum)

I am sure everyone would be up for the Yellowknife Airshow on
June 9.

I like ST Louis area, but only because I am 2 hours away from there
