Managed to get some usable screenshots from my computer, but still trying to work through video file issues. Here's some of the flying.

Usually I pay attention to that stuff, but I didn't have a great view of either runway from where I was. I didn't see it either.

Looks like today's show will be abridged due to weather.

Re: 2024 Charleston Airshow “Heroes of Flight"

Re: 2024 Charleston Airshow “Heroes of Flight"

I caught the thunderbirds from the top of the airport parking lot before my flight out. Looked like #4 had an issue fairly early. They did some of the 4 ships as a 3ship and they had 5 or 6 fill in for some of the others. Made for a bit of a weird show, but safety first and any flying is good flyin...

Thanks for the update. The F-35B and P-51 formation flight will be interesting. Hope the rain holds off. 🤞
