It was a short but good show. Losing the Ospreys was a big hit and no CH-53s was disappointing, although hard to blame them for not wanting the spotlight after the crash.

It's shocking how little information is available. I have been planning on this show since last year and just last night I pretty much decided to cancel the trip and try again in 2 years. We are less than a month out and the website shows the Blue Angels performing and NOTHING else. With the comment...
