I grew up in an "Air Show" family. My mom and dad were both hobby pilots and we drove all over the country for Air Shows. My two favorite planes were always the SR-71 and the F-18.

Theres actually some cool website that will give you the exact location of all remaining 71s along with google earth links to view them. Just Imagine what they've replaced the SR-71 with over the years that we have no clue about.....

I think the coolest plane I ever saw fly at a show was the B-1 Lancer(bomber.) It is absolutely insane to see something that huge and that maneuverable. Its also the loudest plane I've ever seen as well. Sadly we only ever saw it fly at one out of the hundreds of shows we went to back then.
