    I love Air Shows. There's on in Little Rock, Arkansas today and tomorrow. Any bronies or pegasisters going?

    I don't live anywhere near there, though I constantly go to the Air Shows at the Air Force base by my house.

    Word of advice- Wear sleeved shirts. Jet fuel gets in the air and will /really/ irritate you skin.

    Man, I haven't been to any in ages. Love them though, I'll be on the lookout for anything cheap and easy to get to in the UK :) Hope you have fun at yours, any idea what kind of planes will be flying?

    Never been to an air show, though I want to.

    Though I am highly familar with military aircraft flying over my house (Live within 30-40 miles of a large Air Force Reserve base that used to be a major Air Force base.)

    Why would I travel to Arkansas for an Air Show when there's plenty of air right here?

    That sounds exactly like the Airforce Base I was referring to.
    Watch it be the same base.

    C-130s, F-16s, F-18s...the usual US Air Force stuff. Wish they would show one of the F-22s or a drone.

    I'm sure I will see one flying over my house sometime in the future, would not be surprised at all. I've even seen Cobra and Apache helicopters fly overhead.

    I've had Ospreys and Chinooks here. And Pave Lows now that I think about it.

    The hay kinda JP do the Air Force use over there? Even when being on camp at Church Fenton it's never made my skin irritable.

    Anyway, seeing as I want to go into the RAF at some point I've been to a few, that and because my brother got free entry when he was the Fleet Air Arm.

    Air shows are boring.

    Though Britain has the best planes, bar none.

    The United States has the best fighting planes, not so much for air shows, unless you are talking about the Blue Angels.
