Was there this year. Decent show but be aware of the desert heat. This year was a warm show so lots of heat haze.
Expect a few warbirds and most likely some of the following; F-86, Mig-15, T-33, and/or L-39. Vicky Benzing usually shows up as well.
This year there was no F-18 display only a couple of standard flybys of a F-18C.
Be aware that there is no turf on the airfield as its in the middle of the desert. Instead you'll be standing on dirt, something to be aware of incase of bad weather.
Officially you were not allowed to bring backpacks inside (including photo-backpacks) but in reality this wasn't enforced. But if it is there is a long walk back to the car park from the security check-point.
The show isn't worth traveling far for just the show but if you can make it as a day-trip it is well worth the trip.
