Space & Air Show

Post by Blaze » Thu Oct 30, 2008 12:25 pm

Framed by the backdrop of famous launch facilities, aerospace, aviation and astronauts will take to the skies for the second annual Space & Air Show at Kennedy Space Center. This year’s show brings together the best in military aircraft, coupled with precision pilots and veteran astronauts to celebrate spaceflight and aviation. This is only the second time the Navy's elite flight demonstration squadron the Blue Angels, have performed at Kennedy Space Center. Over 30 years have passed since they last visited America’s gateway to space.

Anyone in the Florida area going? I am going on Saturday, Nov 1st. :)

The show starts at 12:30 and runs to 4 pm. Try to be there at 11:30.

Tickets and a map of the viewing site are on the website. ;)

Last year was amazing. The show site has a 360-degree unrestricted view, so you can see the aircraft at all times (whether in front of the crowd or not). Plus, it's not very crowded either since you have to pay to get in to Kennedy Space Center! One of the best shows I went to last year for sure. I'm hoping to go Sunday, November 9th if I'm back home and not too tired from any Vegas escapades... :wink:

What's happening on the 1st Buster? The Blues won't be there as they are in Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas that weekend.
