      Most airshows have this, usually with historic planes and such. Similar with the air taxis they were showing off recently for the Olympics

          Thats not a showcase of cool planes. Like a train convention but for cargo planes and jumbo jets and cool prop planes

          As someone who doesn’t attend them anymore, I think most of the fun in an air show ALSO involves the ground stuff. As a kid I actually touched and sat in a few planes.

        Air shows are pretty far reaching, you don’t have to be in the paid box seating to watch generally. For example in San Francisco you just have to be anywhere with view to the water, in Salinas its a pretty small airport so you can be anywhere around it but tickets to get in are like $30 so its worth it to me to go in and be able to climb around helicopters and stuff, see the robotics and other stuff people bring and the play area for our kid to socialize a bit with kids
