Thanks, Bruce. List updated.
I've been monitoring the weather over the week, looks like there will be rain through the day Friday but not Sat/Sun. Dress for the cold!

That was an incredible show. I was a little skeptical coming in because of the loss of performers plus a few additional displays that didn't show due to Friday's weather, but they still made it a busy day. I was filming almost non stop during the last hour of the show. It was chilly, but otherwise beautiful weather. I was impressed by how healthy the TP-40 was; evidently they did a great job of restoring it. It flew a total of 4 times during the show. But the highlight for me was the formation flyby at the end, featuring the B-17, all 3 P-51s, the FG-1D, the Spitfire, and the P-40. It's so rare that I get to see that much history flying together. Props to the people at Monroe for consistently putting together a unique show every year.

I agree, that final formation was pretty incredible. I played around with my buddies in the tora pyro field and got some fun shots!

I bet the heat from the pyro was nice. Here are my first two videos, the first and last performances of the day.
