I wish I lived closer, I'd definitely drive my 2003 Cab 4 to the flight line! Besides enjoying my Porsche, I enjoy photographing airshows, including the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds:

Wow, reminds me of how close we used to be able to stand during the Airs Show at AAFB when I was a kid. Now I don't bother, I just watch from my deck.

I hope you guys take plenty of pictures.
