I loved it.
$15-Parking, $33 for my 11 year old son and I.
$17 for my son and I at Sonny's Barbecue which was two barbecue sandwiches and one drink (no sides). My son already had a $6 smoothie. Total:$71 and we never saw the B-17 Bomber on the ground or in the sky. $48 for the air show and $23 for food is a ridiculous amount to spend for an air show and they've never cost that before.
