If someone could guarantee nice weekends, then I might be okay with rain during the week, but somehow I don't see that happening

Good afternoon CT...Happy Monday!!!

Rich...thanks for sharing the pics...hope you had a great time!!! Looks like they probably had to do a low altitude show. We went to Westover last year for the airshow...they had to do a low altitude show then. None the less...it's a great show.

My wife and I and my friend from North Kingston had a real good time. It was hard to take pics of the jets, they move so fast. I am somewhat familiar with the speed of the jets, as I spent 2 years on a Destroyer DDG-4 the USS Talbot, now FFG-4. We spent time at Gitmo practicing our tracking of Jets. Also last month I was at the air show at Langley in Virginia. To compare the two shows, Langley wins hands down. The show was run by the military at Langley, no advertising, no commercials. The show at North Kingston RI seem like it was run by a radio station. There were venders from Verizon, Town Fair Tire, home improvement, at least two radio stations and various other commercial distractions. Also, Rhode Island had coorperate viewing with canapy tents blocking the view for half the air strip. Very commercial. Langley didn't have any of that.
