OMG!!!! Really? Yes, you should go to an air show! I have been to a lot of air shows and they never get old. Always something to see from WWI stuff right up to the latest operational aircraft. I went to one in ND several years ago and they had an example of every model, A - N of the P-51 there. The Warbird flyby was awesome with P-51, P-47, P-38, P-39, Hurricane, Me109, Zero, B-25, Sky Raider, Corsair, A-10, F-16, F-15 and F-18 all in formation.

I think the Thunderbirds put on a better show than the Blue Angels and seeing a Blackbird take of and do several afterburner lit flybys at sunset ant Norton AFB in CA was astounding. Unfortunately, I have seen some terrible accidents too.

Go to an air show. The power on display is simply awesome.
