Edwards AFB open house

In 2009.

Unusual in that there are so many unique and pivotal aircraft shown in one place at the same time.

There's some good photos in that link. If you ever get a chance, go to the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton, OH. It's by far the best aircraft museum I've ever been to, and the best part about it is the free admission.

In deed.

I've been to the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola which was pretty cool. This summer I am planning on taking my son to the National Air and Space Museum and the Udvar-Hazy Center.. which should be quite the experience.

I went to the Andrews open house a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. The f22 is a lot bigger than I expected, which is shown pretty well in the group shots at the link you posted.
One thing I was disappointed about at Andrews is they had the A-10s roped off and you couldn't get very close to them. You could get right up to the f22, and sit in an Osprey and a ton of other planes, but not the A-10. It was one of the main things I wanted to see up close

And there were not simulated pyrotechnics. Too close to DC and would probably freak a lot of people out.
