I wasn't able to make it to Louisville. I am hoping someone on here made it and can share their photos. I was really looking forward to the Toledo Vipers, Homestead Vipers, MA ANG Eagles, and Canadian Hornet fly-bys.

Prepare to be disappointed as we were. Boring flybys with no enthusiasm and the super hornet demo only did flat kind of high speed passes. A-10 demo was solid as was the regular performers. Planes were entering from all different locations instead of down the river as normally. There were a couple cool moments such as the e-3, 747 and the mass f-15s headon break. Pictures soon as I’m traveling home to Charlotte today.

This was the first time I've been able to film Matt Younkin's aerobatics without music - even the night show!
