While I can appreciate the skill of aerobatics it does get old after a couple of hours of samo--samo. In fact, I usually find something else to do, maybe take a shower as someone else has mentioned or take a nap in my tent or take a stick and beat people leaning on my plane. I do like talking to those who might be interested though. Also, I have been known to slip on over to Friar Tucks for something cold and refreshing rather than watch the air show. Actually the best part is watching the big iron take off with lots of noise, flybys of antique aircraft and checking out interesting homebuilts which I cant afford and visiting with fellow pilots is the best part.
