Andrews AFB Air show 21st & 22nd

[TGS2]

I might take the little dude down to the air show at Andrews on the 22nd.

I haven't been to one of these in forever. Anyone have advice for me as to what to expect, crowds, parking, food, etc.....

Is 2 & 1/2 to young to enjoy something like this?

I know most of you will be in OC, and I would be as well if my sis in-law wasn't getting married on the 21st. Anyone else on here going to the air show?

Its a great show. I worked at Andrews for a year about 2yrs ago. Parking is crazy. I believe there is a shuttle from FEDEX field that may be worth while. I still have friends who work in base operations. If you have any specific questions shoot me a pm and I can find out the answers for you.

Been a while since I have been but when I did I had a blast, went a couple times between the ages of 10-16. I dunno if 2 1/2 is to young or not but even if he only remembers a little bit im sure he will cherish the memory later in life.

Hearing protection for the little guy will be a must. June 4/5 is the York world war II fly in. I would be more stoked about that if we were not going to be at Carslisle slinging parts.

I went several years ago. Took my oldest son who was then about three. Not sure he remembers it, but I have great pictures of him next to some of the planes. We took the shuttle from FedEx. As I remember, it was pretty painless.

The Thunderbirds will be performing this year, so it'll be good to see. However, I don't see too much fun for a 2 1/2yr old happening at the show. All he's going to encourter is a large crowd of people walking around him and he's not going to understand what's going on. You can take him to the mall on Saturday afternoon for that same effect.
