Glad to see the show is once again on par where it used to be with loads of military participation. I want so bad to drive down for this show, but with the forecast of 100% rain, I'm having a hard time talking myself into the 9 1/2/ hr drive. Nice pics of the F-35s!

I wanted to drive down from Dayton, but the forecast looks miserable.

Drive for the fireworks. Air show is just the icing on the cake

Looks like I should have made the drive, I watched the live stream...weather ended up turning out pretty good.
