The show is interesting but with the increasing heat of recent years
it can be physically exhausting. There are only a handful of
overloaded portable toilets, and virtually nothing to drink to
rehydrate, and the airfield of course is just an open area in the
blazing sun that can surpass 100 degrees F during the day.

If you can brave all that, plus the extreme security paranoia of the
organizers and the considerable difficulty in even reaching the show,
the planes are pretty interesting.



Yeah, you're a real aviator, you are.

Of course he hasn't attended the show, just like he doesn't fly, have a job,
or a life. All he offers are excuses for why it's better to live in his
socially isolated imaginary environment.

I mean in the air. There are lots of pretty things on the ground, but
if it don't fly, it ain't nothing special.

My sentiments exactly.

Hmmm... That would make a great slogan for a T-shirt at OSH.

The air show is worse: no air conditioning, and temperatures comparable to
those of Las Vegas at times, with much higher humidity and 16 hours of
daylight.
