Raptor Demo is a huge addition! I'm still hoping for some very late static additions, but getting Raptor Demo tacked on as a very late flying addition makes this a very strong flying lineup.

Once again the general public got screwed over. Far left of the show is now blocked by all the chalets and tents, thus leaving the far right angled area open to have photographers at

Yeah was disappointed about the left side. I'm set up in front of TBird 6.

Stay safe,

I ended up sitting by the TV crew area and got some decent shots. Just disappointing that it seems like every year they are limiting the general public seating area

Here's some shots from today's show. Starting off with the Bayou Militia F-15s, Randy Ball, Kirby Chambliss, and Kevin Coleman. Notice the shockwave in the one Bayou Militia shot!

Stay safe,
