We went to that airshow two years ago. Saw the Thunderbirds (and many others) in action. Nice show. $1,600 a night? No thanks. Parked in a public lot just north of Newport Beach and rode our bikes (on the bike lane) to the show. Good exercise, cold beer, lots of scantily clad California girls, no traffic, no parking issues. Suits me just fine.

THe joke about roasting marshmallows... Well the Air Show was a good 40 miles from where we were watching but I can tell you it got mighty warm when those fighters flew overhead low.... I met one of the pilots doing my laundry a day or 3 later. They are amazing.... Both Pilot and Plane are the best of the best on the military craft.

Wow... back in 2011 I paid $120 a night for a week in Florida in February. It was canal front, with a dock. WAY more than I wanted to pay, but it was the closest to the Gulf that I could find that year. Never again...

For what it's worth ... the most expensive campsite for us was probably the one we were headed to when our RV's transmission failed ... around $5.5K to replace! :)

Save some money and fly to Portland ... we have great air show ... and there is light rail that will drop you off a couple hundred yards from the show. I left Calif 40 years ago ... miss the people ... don't miss the rest.

When my daughter was in the Navy stationed at Norfork, VA we were offered a Tiger Cruise, immediate family members of the sailor, a board the USS Eisenhower, air craft carrier. Tiger cruise took us to the edge of US territory. We toured the ship, saw where they slept and worked, served us a fantastic meal twice, breakfast and lunch, had activities in the hangar bays, and did an air show for us. Quite impressive, one plane was out 5 miles, did the sonic boom for us.

Total cost, free.

That sounds more like a dependents cruise. A one day experience. A tiger cruise is usually multiple days. I have had the experience of being on a dependents cruise on the GW Bush aircraft carrier with my daughter and was scheduled for the tiger cruise from Florida back to Norfolk when my father passed and we had our daughter flown home for the funeral. She got to experience being launched off the aircraft carrier. I also was a crew member when the ship I was on had a dependents cruise where my brother and best friend got to go out to sea for the day. They arrived the day before and we were all so hungover that my brother and friend almost could not handle the mild sea swells we were in.

Nothing uncommon, bike week in Daytona FL, Sturgis rally, both hike the prices for the event
