<p>Fencersmom,</p>
<p>I see that the F-22 demo will be performing. All I can say is, if you can make, it's a demo you don't want to miss! The things the Raptor demo jet does in the air seems to defy physics! Usually, the demo teams like the T-Birds or the Blue Angels are the highlight of most airshows when they are at the event, but the Raptor demo is now the one everyone walks away from the show talking about. I've seen DOZENS of shows and demos over my career, but the F-22 demo at my base last year was the first time I (as well as every other flyer on the ramp) just stopped dead in our tracks and stood with mouths wide open. I think the standard greeting between all the flyers on the ramp later that day was, "Holy S**t! Did you SEE the Raptor demo?!"</p>
<p>Wear sunglasses and sunscreen, and don't forget to Hydrate! Oh, and bring a small folding chair, if able. (Lessons learned from many an airshow!)</p>
<p>Mostly, enjoy!</p>
<p>Don't forget the earplugs!!!!</p>
<p>We've gone every year and it is a great show. Usually we have a whole house full for folks that come in from out of town to see it. But, this year, it's in May - usually it's around Father's Day. </p>
<p>So, I'll have fun there as a mother!</p>
