Yep, seems to me it's either the C-17 demo team or a Navy "demo" team (could also be the Growler)

Either way, should be a quality addition!

The 2020 edition of Thunder Over The Rock has been cancelled.
LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. – The Thunder Over the Rock air show scheduled for
October 24-25, 2020 has been cancelled due to continuing COVID-19 concerns.
Little Rock AFB officials made the proactive, precautionary decision to cancel the air show and
concurrent STEM Festival, in order to focus base resources on keeping Airmen, their families,
and our community partners safe, while also maintaining our agile combat airlift mission.

The next edition of Thunder Over The Rock will take place in October of 2022.
