I actually did end up having a decent time today, despite not being able to get any food or beverage, merch, or check out the statics. There was a fairly good size area just before security at the end of the runway that we were able to watch the show from that I was afraid they were going to kick us...

Victory Flight added,

Hawker Hurricane XII
Spitfire IX
P-51D Mustang

Really looking forward to this show! I was surprised to see there are still photo pit tickets left when I checked yesterday.
