Question for anyone who has been to Santa Maria before: What's photography like there in relation to the sun? From the airport map it appears you have to shoot the flying displays from the south to SW to West which means you're shooting into the afternoon sun. Is this correct?

Also any idea if the Mossie will be flying?

It's very backlit and very obstructed
