Directions? Sorry don't go downtown that much.

:)

Near those old ships near the airport?

Near Seaport Village?

Convention Center?

Where would be a good place to drive in & watch for a while?

Thanks.

I've got tickets for both days on the north embarcadero. I wonder what class I can enter the Citabria I rent in? :p

Talk about thrilling! It's amazing to watch the work these pilots do with these planes. And the sound is sooo cool...

the show will be held at seaport village & embarcadero park (right behind the convention center just south of S V)
they will charge $10 for FRI and $25 for SAT, but you can see them fly all over town! they are pitted in brownfield so they fly to & fro' and have been caught "practicing" all over the coast line....

I plan on escaping work early to catch them (for free) from coronado...
