Glad to see a couple of new 2-ship jet acts appearing this year since QYON is also debuting theirs next month. Hopefully Greg will bring it over to the east coast some time!

Looks like from looking at the video, I assume that the Snowbirds had to pull out of this year's show at Huntington Beach as they're still grounded.

The Snowbirds will not be there due to their stand down.

Hulu is going to be providing a live broadcast of this year's show.

Looks like we got the T-2 for the Legacy Flight 8-) POF's F8F broke at Reno so this might've been the backup option. I'll take it!

This airshow has impressed me every year I've gone, but this year could've been one of the best airshows I've ever been to. So much variety and so much stuff you don't see outside of military bases. The F-35C demo is probably the best military demo we have right now.

I caught the Hulu stream, and both the stream and the show were fantastic. I hope we have more high-profile broadcasts of air shows, and more livestreams in general, in the future.

There were some surprises to the already amazing lineup. The Super Hornet was a CAG, and the PACAF Viper Demo Team flew one of the aggressors. MiG-17 was a no show. My fantasy week was ruined on Thursday, so I'm gonna skip football today and watch this show again. Some of my favorite pics (phone pics of my television):

Update: I can't find the stream on Hulu. I guess the coverage was only for yesterday, but the replay doesn't appear to be available, either.
