Oh... an F-86 with the a-10. Is that the heritage flight then? I don't see the F-86 on the list of performers.... I wasn't going to go tomorrow, but now -- maybe, as I've never seen one of those fly.

What's the flight line situation like? Need to be there at 8 to have a shot at a good spot?

I didn't get there until about 8:45am and didn't have any problems getting my camera bag, chair and Camelbak in the gate.  I did have a problem making it through the metal detector the first 2 times.  I had to get rid of everything from by pockets and my person before I made it through.  The crowdline is like a mile long.  If you get there before 10am you should still find something decent.  Depends on whether or not you want to sit in front of the Thunderbirds or not.

The C-133 arrived from McChord at about 11:00 am. The FAA would not allow any flybys. It just did a R/H downwind, turned final, and landed, thankfully on 21R. It was gorgeous!

I go to a lot of airshows, and there's pretty much nothing that makes me go "Holy crap Shocked that was crazy!!!" anymore. This did:
