I went to the Miramar air show this weekend with my family with the intention of sketching some planes, but I quickly realized the sketching F-18’s mid flight is kinda hard. Of course, there were plenty of planes and vehicles on the ground that I did sketch, but honestly, drawing the people at the air show was more fun. I’ll never understand some of the fashions I see at air shows; I’ve been going for years and there are always several categories of ladies’ dress, but the one category I find most ridiculous are those who “dress up” - miniskirts, heels and all. Seriously, air shows are a lot of walking in 90 degree weather, often on a dirt field. How are heels practical for this? Anyway, that’s my little rant. Sneakers, ladies, are proper air show attire.* *I’m such a curmudgeon lately since the high school I live across the street from started up their school year again (get off my lawn!). I sound like I’m lobbying for Andy Rooney’s spot on 60 Minutes now that he’s retiring.
