Subsonic My experiences are a few. Driven through from Michigan to get to Boston to see a lady friend at the time, only noticed gas was higher, but didn't care too much. Next time, I was surprised the London, Canada Airshow was looking for military planes to come and do a static display. US airshows never paid or provide any freebies--understand why we don't do this, but London put us up with a rental car for the weekend. All we had to do was stand by the plane (B52) and answer questions. Very friendly people paid to come to the show, loved it. Plus, Molson was a sponsor and had beers in the hotel lobby for flight crews, I can support that. Nice weekend.
