Am I right in assuming CCW is not allowed at the Lincoln airshow this weekend since it's on the Air Guard base?

I don't know if it is "technically" on the base.  It is on the west side of the airport where there are several private businesses.  It is the old ramp from when the Navy/Air Force base was active.  Not sure of the answer to your question though.

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

Not allowed.  I believe it was in the LJS special section.  All bags and people are subject to search to get in.

Stupid Blue Angels buzzed me on West "O" this AM.

They are impressive.  I used to work in another city and my office was on the 33rd floor.  The building was on the water front.  They were practicing the day before and I was looking down into the cockpits at some points.
