2023 Hyundai Air & Sea Show
The show was decent.
Some advice for the people who are in charge.
1. Update your website details each year and update your performers.
2. Update the people who wish to attend on who is confirmed coming to the show on your social media platforms.
3. The airshow was ridiculously long for no reason. It could’ve been easily been done in 3 hours. 1:00-6:30PM was unnecessary. The breaks in between for concerts and other events should be held after the show. Lots of people left towards the end thinking it was over when it really wasn’t. For people like myself who get there early, staying until 6:30 was brutal. Concerts, swearing in, games, etc should be held after the air and sea show.
4. Tickets for general admission should be free for active, reservist, guard, and veterans like it was a few years ago. A 10% off discount for a military tribute airshow is a bit disrespectful.
5. Find different units/squadrons to performer flybys and demos. It seems it’s always the same ones. Maybe switch it up to another squadron who wants to participate and enjoy a vacation in Miami. Sometimes trying to have the same ones participate might be bad if for whatever reason they cannot attend. It seems from previous years that if that specific squadron can’t attend, that specific aircraft will not attend the show. It shouldn’t be that way. Find a replacement squadron or simply a new squadron each year to ensure the possibility of that aircraft being at show.
6. Get more demo teams. Example: Blue Angels, the hometown Squadron, Makos from Homestead, F-22
7. Would love to see rare stuff. E-4B, U-2, RC-135, Harrier, Cobra just to name a few.
I hope someone from the show sees this or someone who knows someone can relay the message. I truly am a fan but I do want to see some improvement.

I agree the breaks in between the concerts was unnecessary and if anything they’ve should had the SaluteFest as a weeklong event not to mention that I told them to revise the schedule since it didn’t show the Super Hornet. The one thing I did not like this year was the wait to enter the Beach Club at Show Center. The show started at 12 but didn’t let anybody until a few minutes after which makes no sense. I knew the C-5 wasn’t going to show up and I aggressively wrote to them to add the F-16 Viper Demo, A-10 Demo and F-35C Demo Teams since they were free this weekend. But overall it was a great time seeing the Army SOF demonstration and the Bayou Militia tearing it up. BEO was insane (no surprise really since it was her birthday weekend).

Viper demo would have been a great addition. I'm surprised the Makos didn't show at least one day tho...Alex41985 wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 9:16 am I agree the breaks in between the concerts was unnecessary and if anything they’ve should had the SaluteFest as a weeklong event not to mention that I told them to revise the schedule since it didn’t show the Super Hornet.

Agreed. I said the same thing about FANG but I guess they and the Makos were out on exercise and didn’t show up.Flyby wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 5:59 pmViper demo would have been a great addition.
