If you've attended the Reno Air Races AKA National Championship Air Races, you know what it's like. If you don't you're in for a treat. :)
The writer herself is an annual competitor (biplane racer).

Greetings, aviators and fans. Hope to see you there. :)

I like the static show as much as the race. Besides walking through the military birds, the private one off rare planes are like works or art.

Imagine watching air race events that alternate with some remarkable air show performances, and (as mentioned above) the statics are more than impressive.
I go about every other year, usually just for one day. I get there extra early, and stay until after the last unlimited (gold) race.
