This weekend I went to the Miramar Airshow. It was awesome and amazing!!! It took forever to get on to the navy base due to the long, large, lines. There was around 200,000 people who showed up! The airshow started with big, booming, bombs being dropped on the airplane runway for entertainment. The smoke was everywhere! Next several planes did tricks and flew around for awhile. Finally the main attraction, the Blue Angels, came out. The Blue Angels are a group of soldiers from the Marines, and the Navy who fly planes for peoples entertainment. It was a cold, cloudy day so the Blue Angels couldn't perform most of their tumbling, terrific, tricks because it's too risky to fly through the clouds. If they accidentally hit each other they'll die. The Blue Angels planes are fast enough to break the sound barrier, but they would hurt people if they did that so they only go half the speed they are capable of.
In addition to the planes, their was a lot of other stuff to see and do at the airshow. Lot's of different food vendors were there to provide a flavorsome feast. Different stores were selling their products there and letting people try them out. For example PlayStation 3 had a huge truck that had an arcade inside it that people were allowed in, and Wii had stations set up where you could play games. There was also a merry-go-round, a jump, jungle gym, and various carnival rides. Though it took forever to get there, it turned out to be a very fruitful day full of fabulous fun!
