Thanks for another wonderful air show. I live in the Sacramento Area and traveling to the other end of the state was well worth it.

What a great reminder of the power of our military! Every American needs to visit this great event as they will swell with pride! This was our 2nd year at the event and we plan to attend again next year. My 3 teenage sons absolutely love it! Thank you for hosting the Blue Angels!

Dear Jennifer,
I am a native Californian that moved to AZ. I thought I would attend the 60th Anniversary of the Blue Angels in Goodyear. What a mistake! All I could do was compare how well organized Miramar is compared to what was offered at the Goodyear Air Show. They charged $20 a person for the show, there was no parking, we could not enter the show unless we took shuttles which never showed up and we ended up with three unused tickets and only caught the Blue Angels as they flew over us in the dusty, hot parking lot. Very disappointing. My family and I will plan on attending next year's show at Miramar instead. The miles do not matter. I was driving in circles for 2 hours, so what's the difference of driving a little more and going to your quality show?!
See you next year!

I just want to say that the fireworks for the twilight show Saturday was the best I have seen any where in years. Well done to you and the whole crew at the air station. I have heard from others that attended about how professional all the Marines were.


Who was the pilot-wizard who performed Saturday afternoon? I worked in flight test at EAFB, and watched this bird be born; I NEVER saw her do her stuff as she did under this man's command on Saturday! My Grounder-Pounder hat's off to him; can you share his name?

Mr. McDonald,
The F-18 TAC Demo pilot was Lt. Turner from VFA 122 out of NAS LeMoore. It truly was a phenomenal demo, especially the 1000' takeoff roll!

Hi,
My nephew and I drove 85 miles (one way) from Huntington Beach to make it to the air show on 10/15.
It was so worth it!!! We had so much fun!!! We especially enjoyed being able to go inside and check out all the tanks, planes, boats and trucks! We loved being able to see, feel and hold the rifles and rocket launchers! All of the Marines were so friendly and nice and helped to show us about the equipment. I was astonished by this event and the large quantity of displays! I was expecting mostly air displays (which were also absolutely outstanding!). I just wanted to let the Marines know how much we appreciate this and for allowing us to visit the base. Thank you so much!! Also, we want to thank all the wonderful men and women who did such a wonderful job at the show, as well as, all of those who put their lives on the line for us everyday!! This was a very memorable time in our lives and just an excellent experience! We look forward to attending the event next year.
Sincerely,
Lisa


Thanks for a GREAT show. I went Friday and Sunday. Only 362 days till we get to do it again!


The weekend prior to your event, I saw the Blue Angels perform at Fleet Week in San Francisco. I found out that they would be flying again the following weekend at Miramar while I was in San Diego for vacation. I went to the Saturday show expecting to see a similar show that I saw in San Francisco.
Was I surprised by what an event your air show is! So much to see and do. If I had not arrived at 10am and stayed through the twilight show, I would have needed to come back a second day to see everything (to be honest, I'm not sure I saw everything).
It is a living museum of the history of flight, the military and so much more. And you can't beat the price...FREE!
I have to say that without a doubt, the Miramar Airshow is the best airshow I have ever seen. A must see for the whole family. Makes me even more proud to be an American! I look forward to 2007.

Thanks again for the assist. Despite early rain on Saturday, we all had a great time. The close parking at West Gate made our day.
Much appreciated!
See you next year,

The solo Hornet demo on Saturday was the best event of the day. Second best was the Osprey. It was a real nice show once again this year, looking forward to next year.

We were at the Twilight show as well as the day show Saturday and I am compelled to let you know that the Fire Works show was the most awesome one that we have seen yet. It just gets better every year and you have completely outdone yourselves this year.
We can't wait for next years show!!!
Sincerely,

We attended the Saturday daytime show. It was absolutely fantastic. Congratulations to all who put this on.
Many thanks for your help and thanks for a great Show.

What a tremendous show! Thank you MCAS Miramar! It's billed as an airshow but the show on the ground is also spectacular with so many plane and helicopter exhibits as well as the information booths and food.
This was the first airshow for me in more than 30 years, but it was the first one we have had the pleasure of attending as a family. Our kids are 13, 10 and 6. They were excited before we came but they were on the edge of their seat for more than 7 hours while we were there. We loved the aerial displays and the special programs such as parachuting and extraction scenarios with helicopters whirring round the grandstand as M1 Abram tanks came rolling by. The real thanks goes first to God for giving us such a great country and its people and also to the performers, planners and ground crews (parking, protecting and policing). Praise God for the men, women and children who sacrificed their time and effort to allow our family the opportunity to see why we can be proud of our country and our military personnel. You've given us a memory that will not soon be forgotten.

I came to the air show on Friday, as I have done for the past 5 years. After I walked through the main entrance, I was attacked by the usual mob of people handing out free things, whether caps, planes, promo items, and, as I walked by one of the booths, I looked briefly to my left and I noticed 5-6 elderly men, of African descent, dressed in their nice clothes with their service caps on and name tags. Out of the corner of my eye the word Tuskegee flashed.
I turned around and walked back. the name tags did in fact say Tuskegee Airmen and then their names. I was overwhelmed with excitement. never in my days, being a young man of 39 did I ever expect to actually meet a Tuskegee pilot, but here were 5 of them. I shook their hands and told them how excited I was to meet them. No matter what else happens this day, this was my high for the day, maybe for the week if not longer. I do not know what they were doing at Miramar today, but I was happy to have been able to have shook their hands.
My only regret: This was the only airshow that I had not brought a camera, too.
