Hmm, well it's a little early yet. Tickets aren't even avail until June as the show's Oct 4-5th and I'm not even sure if they'll have the Blue Angels as they've been grounded due to the sequester.

The Blue Angels have cancelled all 2013 performances due to the sequester. I believe the airshow will still go on, just not sure with what.

Spent many years watching the airshow when it was up north in Irvine. Father in law was 30 yr USMC mstsrgt-ret and we got the awesome VIP treatment. Karen still has her dad's challenge coin that would get us a free ice cream at the PX. Blue Angels over the 405-5 freeway. Awesome!

The El Toro show? Yeah, that one was always a good one too! Growing up in Huntington Beach most of my life it was always fun to see & hear the aircraft in the area and the booms from their pyro technics. Hopefully someday we'll at least see the Mirimar show return, one of the largest in the nation!

Yeah, this years Miramar show kept getting smaller until it was down to one day (with a lot of bands) and then they just cancelled the whole thing. It must cost a fortune just to staff the show (parking, etc). Hopefully next year it will be back!

It was the Wednesday before the show when the Marines cancelled it at the last minute due to the federal government budget shutdown. Vendors were already on site setting up for the show when word came down that it was cancelled. I know it is a big money maker for some of the military relief organizations, so I'd expect them to make every effort to put it on again next year. We'll have to see if the feds can budget for getting the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds back on the airshow circuit.
