Cool video!! About 1960 or 61 my dad got a pass on to the Naval Air Facility and premium seating to watch the Blue Angels. After the show we got a tour through the bone yard the Navy facility shared with Luke AFB. Mostly WW2, Korean war vintage propeller planes and what I think were named Sabre jets. Being about 10 years old I was thrilled after saluting the Navy and AF personnel. They immediately returned the salute. I've been hooked on air shows since.

That's definitely a bucket list item as the WW 2 fighters are a multi-millionaire's hobby. A former co-worker won a raffle and got a short ride in a B-17. From what he told me of the pre-flight tour. The plane's owner claimed the glass dome for one of the machinegun turrets cost in excess of 50 G's.
