St Louis Air Show Pics

Got back from a work trip last week and was excited to see a Blue Angel F-18 and a couple F-22s parked at the FBO.

We were parked really close to the F-18 and I was shocked by the size of that aircraft up close.

The F-22s are awesome too but I didn’t get as close.

The air show was great, I live close to KSUS so they fly right over while I hang in the pool. The next time it’s here I’ll buy tickets and take the kids.

Pictures look great. I’m sorry that you have to buy tickets.

The Oceana airshow in Virginia Beach is free and open to the public.

Parking can be a bit challenging, as tens of thousands of people arrive on base that morning, but it doesn’t cost you anything

I'm not sure how airshows can charge the public and still get the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds. I set up an airshow for my local town in 2024 and the website states specifically that it must be free to the public. They also require all of their fuel bill to be covered and hotels for two nights. The FA/-18's don't look big on an aircraft carrier but are much bigger in person. That's a great Picture of the F-22.

It sells out but there are tons of people that just park in nearby parking lots or setup on the levee and still get a great view.

They sell out of tickets every time. It’s worth buying an all-inclusive ticket if it’s hot as you get tent access and shade. General admission pricing…
