Yeah got same as also previous ticket buyer.. I hesitate as wx conditions early June are iffy so your out
if hazy,cloudy etc which in June can be the case.Like Atlantic City airshow in August facing the hazy sun in the East makes for
tough photography.. Best bets for both airshows is offshore watching in a boat

Yeah gonna be tough season for charter boats again as fuel prices skyrocket. So many Charter captains

the day
