Flyout Group organized a trip to Socal for the USAF Airshow at March Air Reserve in Riverside, and I was thankfully able to join last minute.
Even though we had a hotel almost next door, traffic was a complete mess. We left 1h30 early and the van I was in got almost nowhere in 3h and ran out of gas before making it to the entrance. Thankfully I made the call to get out and walk, it was a long walk (30-40mn), but I passed all the cars that were stuck in line, and got it before they nicely decided to close that entrance to pedestrians, so the poor people behind me were sent on a 1h30 walk all the way around the base, ridiculous :(
Nice to see this performer again with precision flying, including landing on the top of a van:
And the show ended with the thunderbirds:
All in all, a good show, nice to see some planes I had never seen outside or in flight

that was more than 20mn into my walk in, at least by then I was in the base and going towards the visitor entrance
first time I see a B1 outside of a museum
cool to still see snow in the background
had never seen a B1 fly before
