I know things can change, but sadly it looks like this great lineup might be wasted. The forecast for Thursday through Sunday reminds me of Oceana 2009. Anyone that went to that show will know exactly what I mean. Temperature 10-15 degrees below average, rain, pockets of drizzle, and 500ft ceilings. Hilarious because it has been sunny here for 4 straight days and starting Monday it looks like a week plus of beautiful weather again. Here is to hoping the forecast improves..

Greg Colyer posted the schedule for today on Facebook. Looks like it gets started surprisingly early!

Looks like the Navy TAC Hornet Demo from VFA-122 was selling caps, shirts, etc.

Anybody pick up some extra items that they are willing to sell? Will pay top money.

You can PM me.
