Can anyone tell me in what order everything should be flying and approx what time? Just a prelim schedule?

Looks like I may be there with some family Sunday, weather permitting. I never seem to make it to this due to other plans around the holiday. I think the last time I made it was either 18 or 19. Here's hoping for a good forecast!

Too bad about the cancellation and weather today. Hopefully, they'll get the next two days in without any bad weather. Wish I could go one of the next two days but it was today or bust for us.

This was my first time at Field of Flight, I was able to make it Friday evening. I'm not sure if it's always like this later on Friday (I got there about 7:15pm) but there were no traffic backups, no waiting to park, no waiting to get in...it was magical!

Here are a few pictures from the show, I've got quite a few more to go through that I'll share if any turn out. I unfortunately had some focusing issues during the twilight show so I don't have many keepers from that, and missed the balloons because of the rain. Fun way to spend the evening though and a nice change of lighting compared to what I'm used to - next time I think I'd leave work a couple hours early, and bring a tripod to get some carnival shots.
