You are lucky to have the Air Force museum so close.
I love that place. Last year, my parents came for a visit, and I took them there. My dad flew the Jug (P47 Thunderbolt), and he got pretty wet-eyed when he saw his old ride on display.
And yeah, that B29 was LOUD. A few years ago there was a pre-show flyover of a "squadron" composed of a B17, two B24s and a B25. Talk about a racket!

We have an annual air show at the local airport, and every year we have overflights by B-29s, B-25s, P-38s, and a bunch of fighters, both aircorp and navy. They fly right over us constantly, so we don't have to go to the airfield.
We used to get more modern planes as well, but I guess the armed forces have stopped subsidizing fly overs by stealth bombers and fighters--and the Blue Angels don't come by either. Sad.

Has anyone done a study of the frequency of accidents at air shows? So many hit (pardon pun) the news, I wouldn't be surprised if it's >> NASCAR and other motor events. .. NOT in numbers but %-age.
