I work on campus and just got a little preview of the Heritage Flight while walking back from a meeting. The demo team was using the camo A-10. I think the Black Snake A-10 is supposed to be here, too. Also saw an F-18 arrive through my office window during lunch.

Should be a fun day tomorrow. Weather looks good and it will be a nice way to kick off the season.

Fun day today! A-10 Demo Team flew Black Mamba today. Kind of tough to get photos due to the airport orientation, but it was an airshow on a day with good weather in April. Can't complain! The KC-135 and F-16 passes were a nice bonus.

It should also be noted that this event is planned entirely by students in Purdue's aviation programs. They did a fantastic job! Will be interesting to see if they keep hosting aerial performances after this and the Golden Knights last year.

Few quick ones.
