Michael Jennings Photography of Montana: The other half of the National Championshil Air Races and Air Show

So you now know what the National Championship Air Races are about, so what about the Air Show? What else is there to see and do? Usually starting on Thursday, you will have aerobatic shows in between the races by at least two or three performers. They usually perform once in the morning then one more time in the afternoon. You also have a military demonstration team such as the F-22 Raptor or the F-18 Hornet that performs in the middle of the day.

Usually you will also have one of the premier flight demonstration teams such as the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, U.S. Navy Blue Angles or the Canadian Snowbirds. They perform in the late afternoon.

Then you have static Military aircraft to walk through and ask questions.

If that isn't enough for you they also have the Heritage display of antique aircraft. This is an awesome display.

Needless to say your day will be filled with things to do and if you decide to go to the pits, you usually see the pilot or one of the pit crew members that you can talk to and ask questions. And of course the souvenirs that are available are mind boggling. It is a great time and well planned out. My first time I attended, I got a package deal from one of the casinos which included admission tickets, pit passes and shuttle from the hotel to the races and back. There are several options that you can customize to meet your needs. Hope to see you all there in September. The dates again are September 13-16, 2012... Have a great day a hope you come and enjoy a special event.
