Anyone go today? Wondering how much of the show they got in. Weather forecast didn't look great and I know the Cubs got delayed. Here's the schedule that was planned:

Keeping an eye on the forecast for tomorrow, but I'll probably end up sitting this one out unless it looks better when I wake up early.

I packed for this trip planning on a wet show and it looks like today's forecast has cleared up a lot, so... great. I'll be at Castaways with my gear.

No rain, but no ceiling. All helicopters so far.

That was what I was afraid of when I checked the weather this morning and why I didn't make the drive. Hope it clears off!

It rained hard for about 20 minutes and brought on a 90 minute rain delay.

No individual aerobatics. No Navy legacy flight but the F-35C was fun. F-22 and P-51 heritage flight but no Raptor demo. Osprey and A-10s did their thing, as did Triple Time. No C-17, KC-135 ( aborted a flat pass because of visibility), or Susan Dacy. Blues did a flat show with no opposing passes. It was odd because the sky was beautiful but there were clouds low in the box.
