Rocky Mountain Air Show This Weekend

[cofi]

I am going to assume they are including concealed carry so count me out.

that sealed it for me too not going to pay 25 to have my shit searched and possible kicked out for ccw

[colorider]

Was going to go w the wife and our son. Fuck it now, not remotely worth the $$$ thy are charging.

Considering that Fifi is the ONLY flying B-29 left in the world, and that I may never get another chance to film a B-29 starting up, I reckon I'll be coughing up the dough. And I seriously doubt I'll be needing a handgun either.

Last year I walked in with a camera bag and a Camelbak on, they didn't stop me or ask me to show anything.

Bought my tickets for tomorrow, over the Internet. 22.50 Tonight is 14 I believe. They have been buzzing my house all day. Pretty impressive seeing the B29 and b24 in formation.

If you are looking for photos in the afternoon your best bet is on the south side of the runways, especially closer to Wadsworth where concidentally, you don't have to pay to get in. This airport is totally backwards for decent photos after about 10AM. They really should be doing this at one of the local AFBs or even Front Range.

I have never understood why the US Gov sends the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds along with all sorts of other demo teams across the world to foreign airshows but ignores the taxpayers at home. Hell, we pay for it, show me what I am paying for!

Both the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds seasons were canceled thanks to the sequester...

I heard the Birds are flying again but I have no clue how long till they are show ready ( the sequester bit into preseason practice and these guys have hard safety rules on how much practice they get before they will show)

I will be there, worth it. Tons of fun, this year, they are launching a rocket frm what I understand.

I'm out too. They raised the prices, and now the parking. I took the family last 2 years, and was going to go Saturday, I figured 200 bucks for a day of family fun was a bit much. I though air shows used to be a cheap day of fun. Some friends of the wife posted pictures of it tonight. Not a lot of anything, they called it a bust. Denver is too big a city not to have a decent show.

yeah, I hate the idea of paying after it was free for so many years but I have yet to see a B-29.. I'm going to cough up the $$ and head down there Sunday afternoon.. Read that they are doing a WW2 show with pyro/bomb drops and all that as well. Could care less about the wing walkers and other aerobatic stuff. I don't think the F18 and 16s are there this year either (sequester likely), at least they are not listed.

Well, I went, and turned around and came home. 36 is under construction, the signs for the airport were gone so I had hell finding it, parking was like, 3 miles away, so I said fuck it - I'll go see the bombers in Colorado Springs. They're going to be there Mon, Tues and Wed.
