While we enjoyed the drive in format, we felt the view was terrible from the mid-back blue section. WAY too far away. The greens would have been a waste of money IMO. Luckily the F18s and Blue Angels did a couple "over the crowd" passes to help things in this regard. MUST get red passes next time or we don't go.

Also noticed that a huge swath of front blue section was empty. Any reason they did this?

Finally, did anyone see the lightning bolt come out the side of the storm into the blue sky right in front of the 4 blue angels planes circling behind the venue? So cool!!!
The front blue section was empty because the ground was saturated, I was one mini van get stuck in the mud and dig in almost to the rocker panels.

I had a very nice time in London last weekend. I wanted to thank everyone in the photo pit for their hospitality.

Nice shots, Ryan. As a long time lurker, I thought I should contribute some of my own.

Amazing how quiet it's been in here since the show.

Ryan, I'm not always a fan of the black and white but I love the two-ship that you posted above.

Anyways, I've finally had some time to edit some ASL images so here is a selection from Saturday afternoon.

The Hour of Power on Friday provided so many wonderful opportunities in dynamic light.
