Being an AirForce Brat, I grew up with annual air shows by the USAF Thunderbirds, and locally the Navy Blue Angels. I have to admit, I like the smell of jet fuel in the morning. My dogs on the otherhand, never did like their low level fly by's.

I remember riding my bike around the back side of the base to get closer to the runway to watch the Thunderbirds practice before an airshow when I was a kid living on base in Michigan. The trick was to not get too close and get caught by the MPs. (military police)
