Sounds awesome, I'm surprised they had a flying MQ-9. That might be the first flying airshow appearance of a Reaper?

Thanks for sharing!

The Reaper performing is rare for sure, but not unheard of. Cannon flew a Reaper at their 2016 show also. I've also seen both MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper fly at the Holloman show in 2014
