As another former AF dude, I've seen at least 10 air shows including the grand daddy of them all (AFAIC), the Air Force's 50th Anniversary Airshow in Las Vegas. I actually was brought in TDY for 4 months for that airshow (protocol officer). My job was to talk to the local casinos and hotels about hyping the airshow and arranging public transportation from the hotels to the LV Raceway, where they were bussed into the AF base. Rough gig... heh heh. For bragging purposes, I've flown in the backseat of both the 15 and 16 multiple times. :D
