Title says it all. I'll be there trying to stock up on some evil black rifles... I'll have some trade fodder with me!
 
Not this time, went to the Oceana air show. Maybe the Virginia Beach and/or Richmond show in Oct.
 
Just got back, don't waste your time or money! It was a flop for me, over priced junk and "Commando" type dealers who all knew WAY more than I did...

One guy said he didn't like Busse's because he was a survivalist and Busse's just don't hold up in the field. I purposefully passed gas at his table before walking away...

The Air show was cool though! I went Friday to the mil only rehearsal show, my son loved it. There was a female pilot, Annie Wagstaff (I think) who was AWESOME to watch.

Wow, that sounds like every VA gun/knife show I been to in the last few years.

I always take money and they never have anything that I want. The one before the last one I went to had a ton of the ammunition that I always look for but nobody ever has. It also just happen to be the one time that I didn't take any money.

:(
 
Man I was hoping to hear that it was great and not similar to Silas' comments. I've yet to go to a show in the Hampton area where I was really blown away by either the selection or price. :(

The air show was nice but it just does not get me super excited any more. When I was stationed in Washington we would manage/maintain the water safety zone for the Blue Angels and all the other acts. After a few years of being the center mark and having all the acts directly over and close enough to feel the jet wash I think I am spoiled.

Any comments on how the Richmond show is? Sorry for the potential hijack.
