The Texan is from Vance AFB and I believe F-16 is from Ohio

We were so disappointed in this airshow. We paid extra for the flight club thinking we would have a better experience but ended up sitting on the concrete which made it even hotter. The generator on the restroom was so loud we could not hear the announcer. We were not allowed to bring food or drink but When we got in the huge line to get drinks we found out they were all out if drinks!!! Most of the people left the lines because of that. It was hot and no water or sodas. They finally brought more water in so waiting 1 hour in line we finally got something to drink. Our first air show since moving back to Michigan and it wasn't very good. The best thing was the army sky divers. We finally moved to the other side of the flight club section in the grass and could hear the announcer and it was cooler since we were no longer on the concrete. This air show was not even worth the general admission price let alone the flight club price. I saw no benefit in paying extra for this. At least provide a shade and have food and drink to purchase close by. We attended air shows all the time in California and they were great. Lots of things to see .... lots of airplanes you could see up close and personal and lots of variety like canine show and a car that raced an airplane! They always had lots of vendors so we could buy things. Lots of interest so this air show wasn't even close.
