Air Show, Pease AFB
Posted on August 29, 2010 by WPS
Saturday (8/28/2010) we went to the Air Show at Pease AFB. It was a beautiful day for an air show, and the pilots and jumpers were great. But, wow what a crowd of people! I'm not a big fan of big crowds. It turned the day into a day of going from one long line to another. Plus no coolers, outrageous prices at the concessions, and crappy food. I waited two hours in line to get the worst chicken sandwich I've ever had, and paid seven bucks for it. Three fifty for a bottle of water. Then it took over two and a half hours to get out of the parking lot. Only the porta-potties did not have lines all day, thank goodness for that!
On top of all that, they had huge tents and a row of porta potties set up between the area we were in and the runway. You could only go up the the fence at the runway if you paid extra. I guess the promoters don't care about their customer's experience, unless you pay some ridiculous prices for the 'vip' area. Sorry if that sounds like a lot of complaining, overall I am glad I went, but, I am sad to say, it will be a long time before I go back there again.
