Oh great another drunk pilot act, bruh this not even pure humor, would preferably have the local Air Guard(s) conduct flybys rather than another fake pilot act. Note by no means I am influencing any perspective of disrespect, he's alright, but March Field just needs to spin things up for once :lol: .

Hey just a question, I hear alot of people like to take pictures at the museum, has anyone seen the airshow in the past from the museum? how different is the experience due to it being on the other side of the field?

I gotcha you, yeah the Muesum is a solid place to be, the show is at times over your head, parallels something similar to the end of RWY 30 at El Centro. Another major pro of the museum the lighting is solid (No Blacklit, meaning full-side on light starring from 12PM and continues to improve all day). However, there's a very minor drawback that being it costs $40 per vehicle for the day, but it covers your stay day for the day, including museum entrance, it's a very solid option man, and still outweighs the cost, definitely worth it, however it's first come first serve basis, and the parking fills rapidly, meaning their limited on capacity.

Oh I recommend I have you and anyone else interested is for arrival day, which from what I heard is Thursday (As per the average Airshow arrival day) is supposedly to be the day for statics and performers, drive out to this dead end corner that connects Patterson Ave. & Nadina Ave. and watch all the good stuff arrive RWY 32, granted that unwinds, headwinds, and crosswinds will be in favor for RWY 32 of that day. You will need a ladder and you should not encounter further problems with base security, there is security based out of one the work places right next to the street, but there just there to keep you from hopping the fences, but overall it's really easy to spot there too.

Is that $40 for parking? I heard that the museum costs about $15 to get in.
