I knew there were a couple in the US that a contractor used
to support naval training in the Hampton Roads area but I don't
think this is one of them.

Yup. There's an air show at Moffet tomorrow (Saturday).

Sunday as well, yes?
Myself, if I manage any airshows this weekend, it'll be the Watsonville
Fly-In. I prefer the old stuff.

Who is sponsoring the Ames Moffett Airshow? One I attended there about 6
years ago was a complete disaster! There was absolutely no crowd control
-- kids were climbing on/into airplanes with no regard for possible
damage.
My policy is to avoid any airshow sponsored by non-aviation
organizations, as they usually have no clue about display aircraft
safety/security.
