My understanding is the concern was of standing water on the runway causing the planes not being able to depart Friday. No fly-In at the museum. The planes will stay at Grimes/Wright Bros. fields and do flyovers at the museum.

That makes more sense, I was wondering how they had good enough weather for a formation flyover but not good enough to land. The video of the flyover is amazing at least!
