Hey, Im jealous cause you guys get to see the Blue Angels, I cant remember the last time they came to our airshow here at Ellington AFB in Houston! We are a big time airshow, and yet we can never get the big names scheduled! This year we have the Snowbirds, I am quite disapionted....

We didn't have the BA's and the SB's a couple of years ago? (Not questioning your response...questioning my memory.
)
I definitely recall seeing the Stealth and the Snowbirds flying over the island.

I think the Snowbirds have been here in the last few years, but when they come I dont go see them... They really arent that good... As for the Blue Angels, I think the last time they were here was in like 1995... I really cant remember the last time I have seen them!! Its been that long! I go every year.. I remember the Stealth flying over that was in 2001 when all that mess happened with the Trade Centers... That show was messed up because all the jets were on standby and really nothing flew and not a whole lot showed up... But that was the first time I have ever seen the steath in the air... That was cool.... Last year the Thunderbirds were there... They always give a good show....

We've had the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds here alot at the airshow. We had the Snowbirds a few years back. My father in laws best friend is a former Thunderbird and he wasn't able to make it in for last show here...we got the passes for the Thunderbird VIP tent!
As for your airshow not booking either the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds, it seems to me that someone is not booking them early enough. If I'm not mistaken, you have to book them a couple of years in advance.
