Apple Valley Airshow

The 2015 Apple Valley air show was a blast!
This was our first time attending. Adults are $ 5, kids under 12 are free. There’s plenty of free parking. This was an awesome event for a low price. The only caveat is that you are in the middle of nowhere, hot, thirsty, and hungry. They are smart and know you will spend money on all of the food and concession stands!
Pro tip: bring sunscreen and folding chairs!
We couldn’t stand the heat any longer, so we stopped at the Snowie stand first. For $ 5, we got a large icee and added our own flavors. Our favorites were lemon-​lime, piña colada, and watermelon. It was cooling and refreshing and really hit the spot.
There were two announcers doing a play-​by-​play for each pilot that was performing stunts for the crowd. They were telling us interesting tidbits about each plane — one of them flies equally well upside down or right side up!
Different planes and pilots performed various maneuvers to entertain the crowd. Some of the planes would fly straight up towards the sun, stall, then fall back down to earth before recovering excitingly at the last second! We also saw numerous barrel rolls and spins.
There were lots of activities available, including rock climbing, bounce house, and plane and car displays. My son and I took a neat picture with a helicopter!
I got a $ 5 lemonade from a lemonade stand and it wasn’t worth it — it was mostly ice!
I also paid $ 4 for a cold hot dog.
The overpriced food didn’t dampen the experience though. The plane stunts were quite entertaining, and after all, that’s what we were there for.

Lots of food vendors, some goods vendor, lots of airplanes on the ground, and flying in the sky. Not much else to say, it is what it is.
