We go every year. we enjoy the show and the people who put the show on. how ever it would be nice to see someone like the thunderbirds again. the blue angels would be a nice headliner ,dont get me wrong but at times I feel like the show could use a little more swagger. YOU KNOW ,LIKE A BALLET ON STEROIDS. Lets pump the show up a notch and get more of the younger crowds out. Headline concert like '' TOBY KEITH ! I love the show no matter what keep up the good work. Yours trully CAF faithful.

I have never missed a CAF Airshow. I'm 64 years old and always enjoy the oldies, but I have a 21 year old son who aspires to be a jet fighter pilot. He wants a reasonable share of modern jets in our local airshows. I would like that as well. I love old technology but I crave new technology. My son will eventually be a jet fighter pilot. He is entering the Air Force as a commissioned officer in the USAF. We love the old and the new. I recommend more advanced fighter jets to enhance CAF Airshow experience. We just saw an airshow in Colorado recently, featuring the F-22 Raptor demo of very impressive maneuvers. Also had many other high tech jets flying in the show. We are not interested in sideshow concerts. Please consider my comments. I am available to help in the summer months to help this happen. I am shocked that we lost "fi fi".
That's a major loss to the CAF and all of west Texas.
We don't go to the airshow to see a country singer. We want jets!

EDITORS' REPLY: The magazine only lists the airshows; we suggest you forward your criticisms and suggestions directly to the show organizers.
