The annual Miramar Air Show returns Sept. 27-29 at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.
The annual Miramar Air Show takes off once again this weekend. KPBS military reporter Andrew Dyer got an early look and has more on what to expect this year."This is a huge event," Herrmann said Thursday during show rehearsals."We're going to expect about 100,000 people per day.

The base opens to the public each day at 8 a.m. The show ends with Blue Angel performances around 3 p.m.All the work is worthwhile, he said, because it strengthens the Marines' connection to the community. "I think this is just a great opportunity to to meet and mingle with the men and women in uniform, and hear their stories," Herrmann said."I think that's the really the biggest thing — I want the community to come and get to know the people that live and work here."
There's a clear bag policy and a number of prohibited items, such as coolers and outside alcohol. The Marines also recommend hearing protection — fighter jets are quite loud.I cover the military and veterans affairs at KPBS.
