Maybe this can be a ride for you. 8-)

On June 29-30, 2024, Hill AFB Utah is having their annual airshow. There will be static exhibits of aircraft and aerobatic performances; both the USAF Thunderbirds team and independent solo pilots and will be part of the show. Typically the weather will be hot and dry. Bring lawnchairs, sun hats, sunscreen, and maybe an umbrella (for shade). There will be water stations located in the show, and they are necessary.

Hill AFB is in northern Utah, about one hour going north on I-15, from the junction of I-15 and I-80 in SLC, UT. Exit 331 from I-15 (watch the Mile Markers) will get you there. Shuttle busses may be running in some places if you park remotely.

I know I have posted about this next place before, but it may be worth a repeat.
The Hill AFB AeroSpace Museum is a separate attraction, accessed from the Roy, Utah gate (I-15 Exit 338). It is a great place to see most of the planes ever flown by the USAF, and even some Russian examples. It goes from a Wright Flier to the SR-71 Blackbird and B-1 Lancer. I believe that this museum is second only to the Wright-Patterson AFB air museum, for military aircraft. The museum is open almost every day, before during, and after the air show. Call ahead.

We live near an ANG base - their air show was a few weeks ago. We live just off the flight path for the air strip so we had a front seat for the practice sessions.

One of the coolest shots from the show was this one with an F4U and an F18 side by side - I managed to see them overhead on the second day - it was really cool to see that in person.

If you're close to one of these, make the time to go take in the sights and sounds...
