Very nice! Nothing as happy as an airshow. Of all the nations in the world maybe a fifth have air shows, and in the United States ours are the very best. An airshow in Columbus Georgia (Thunder in the Valley) played a role in my interest in aviation. It was a magical thing, going so fast over the surface of the earth. I was particularly impressed by a P-51 Mustang and a T-33 Shooting Star. The T-33 or P-80 it was derived from, was not all that great a jet in combat as it turns out, but it was a great visual thing at the time.

HALO , Seal Team and Special FOrces jumps (without static chord) often use the ramp.
