Did anyone else make it out there? I was there Saturday and it was sweltering. Good lineup of flying and OK turnout of statics. The lighting for photos combined with the heat haze made photography a challenge. I will post some once I get around to editing them.

I made it on Saturday, I've put some videos I took on YouTube. I almost had a heat stroke near the end of the show. Did anybody go Sunday? I know that the cloud ceiling was below 1,000 ft for most of the day, just curious as to what flew.

I made it both days. Sunday's flying didn't start until around 11:30ish. Everyone flew except the Coleman/Stein formation and the 4th FW 75th Anniversary Legacy Flight (P-51D, F-86 and F-15E), and all did modified/low shows.
