I was surprised to see this show wasn't listed on the Forums yet. Occurring in a mere two weeks the line-up has some interesting entries that are somewhat unusual to see. I attended this show a few years ago when it was just starting up and they did a pretty good job. The show grounds are HUGE so there is plenty of room to setup and watch the show. Traffic was managed well with the airport situated in a "small town" type setting. It's a bit of a hike for me to get there, but I might attend this show.

The first show back in 2015 had the F-22 Demo, Super Hornet Demo and Harrier Demo. That was an impressive line-up.

Statics have not been that good, but this year they will have some Super Hornets, F-16's from Vermont Green Mountain Boys, A-10, C-17.

Hope the Green Mountain Boys bring plenty of squadron items to sell. They had lots of items at Westover in July. Plenty of F-16 and F-35 items. They will eventually transition to the F-35.

Thunderbirds did not stage from show center the last time they were there. I have been told the team crew decides where they stage from. There is not a lot of room at show center for the jets. Blue Angels were able to stage from show center last year.

The Thunderbird pilots do come to crowd line for autographs after the show.

Nice shots! It looks like you had extra access. It was a treat seeing Fat Albert stopped by. I didn't make it to the show due to some other commitments. Thanks for sharing!
