Andrews Air Force Base: 3 Day Air Extravaganza 2009

[UPDATE: 16 May 2009 @ 1925: The official website is back up - finally. For more information, go to www.jsoh.org/ . Also, you can see the Twitter traffic HERE (#JSOH) and HERE (Andrews AFB).]

I saw an advertisement for the air show on the side of one of the Metro buses, and my wife and I decided that we'd like to try to go. We each tried to search for information on the show on several occasions, and everything we found told us to visit www.jsoh.org for more information (or www.jsoh.org/show.html or www.jsoh.org/schedule.html).

But, frustratingly, the site has been down.

Finally, I came across this article on the Washington Post website that outlined the schedule of events, as reported on 15 May 2009. I'm recreating Saturday's schedule here, in a hope that someone else might be interested (and frustrated) and find this guide.
