    Wow, there were a lot of mechanical issues this year! And great shots all! Still haven't had a chance to do anything with mine from Thursday and Friday, not expecting much as the haze was a challenge and I'm still working on my photog skills. My camera crapped out so I had to sit out Saturday.

    Surprise!!! Blue Angel 5 parked in front of the Main Terminal. My guess is it had been towed to a hangar (Talon?) to be worked on.
    Almost 10AM and Snowbirds still here though hear possibly out between now and 11.

    Who says the air show is over? The A-10 that visited the AAM, Wardog Zero One, took off and after his initial departure on 14 gave us three low and fast Fly Bys!!! Wow that was awesome!

    Saw that the Blues canceled their practice at the meseum back home, guessing that's why. They said the Wednesday pratice should be on.

    They are departing slowly. Two jets went up by themselves, then a flight of 3 then 25 minutes later another flight of 3. Looks like another group ready to go out.

    The pilot's family were on the ramp and his brother was taking video of the low passes at the end of RWY 14 also.

    Not quite. When I left at 2:30 Snowbirds 5, 8, 9 and 11 still on the ramp and they didnt look to be in a hurry to go anywhere.
    Angel 5 was still at the Terminal.

    I have been observing this thread for the past few days and all I can say is.....boy did you guys do this show right. Fantastic images and I'm very jealous I wasn't there(especially given the F-35)! As usual we have excellent coverage from the field AND the show itself. John, Mark, Fred, and Gerard with those videos, and others that made this thread epic....THANK YOU

    I was very sorry to hear about the ditching of Jackie's Revenge. Rest in peace to her pilot, Bill Gordon.
