This past weekend was the Wings over Wayne airshow at Seymour Johnson AFB here in NC, and I got some great daddy-daughter time. Perhaps because it was the first post-COVID (and they cancelled the '21 show), but it appears that attendance broke any previous record, and by a long way! Traffic onto the base was so bad that it backed up over an hour and doubled our drive time to 3h door-to-flight line.
By some stroke of luck, we got there right as the Blue Angels show was starting, with Fat Albert taxiing into position as we walked up. Got great position, standing right up against the flight line barrier. We spent an hour watching a fantastic show, after which my daughter wanted to buy a Blue Angels cap (she loves baseball caps) and declared her undying love for the coolest precision flight demonstration team ever!
What a great weekend!
