One of my favorite weekend activities to do is attend local air shows. The end of March each year kind of kicks off the air show season in So Cal. First up is one of the largest municipal airport shows in the state. The show always gets some real good military aircraft support, along with lots or war birds and acrobatics. Here are a few of the near 1,100 pictures I took:
Next up is the March Air Reserve Base show in the beginning of May featuring the Thunderbirds, then it's the Chino Planes of Fame Museum show at the end of May, and then the Edwards Air Base and Miramar Naval Air Station end out the season in October.
Great pictures, Mike. We used to have the show come through a small airport just north of Austin and they had F16 fly-bys and all the old aircraft from my dads era. I have always loved the props and can't get enough of that sound and smell. I went to Edwards a few years back with my sister and husband, they had an F-117 parked and the B-2 did a fly-by. Great looking planes...

They did not have any stealth aircraft this year. In the past they have had fly-bys and tactical demonstrations of both the F-117 and the B-2. There is rummors that the larger military shows may have the F22 Raptor this year!
