I myself spent 18 months at Nellis Air force Base, in 1966 and the idiot as we all lovingly call them loved to return to base at night with a low fly over the barracks and jar us out of our bunks.
But still like to see these guy fly.

First saw these guys as a young kid in Rabat Morocco (I'm a service brat [retired]); never missed 'em when I've been nearby to a show. Always a good time!

Hi,


Several years ago I had gotten some VIP passes I don't remember who I got them from (possible last name of Cordavant); not real sure, but had a wonderful time. This year I’m going to bring my father who is a Korean war vet, to the show. He is 83 years young but does not get around as good as he used to. I think he would really enjoy the show. Is there any way I could get some VIP passes to get in and dad would not have to walk too much?



Thanks, Sgt John Wortmann


EDITORS' REPLY: You need to contact the show organizers directly to arrange that.

Will we be able to monitor the ATC during the airshow on our aviation scanners?
If so, at what frequencies?



From the editors: Please contact the airshow organizers directly at: http://www.scott.af.mil/airshow2012.asp
