Are there any estimates of crowd sizes for both days? I was there on Saturday and there was a pretty good crowd but it's hard to approximate the number of people in attendance. Just curious about that.

Great job to the Dover team and Schultz air shows! My son was starting to have heat exhaustion on Saturday, so we got out of that heat before the Thunderbirds. Awesome to see pretty much everything that they promised actually show up though! Fantastic work! Here's a few of my feeble shots. Enjoy.

Had a fun time today. Both the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds put on spectacular shows. Also enjoyed the Cargo Heritage Flight and the C-5M Super Galaxy demonstration. My highlight of the airshow was the demo by the AV-8B Harrier II since they’re becoming very rare to see at airshows and are now in their twilight years. Stay tuned for a couple of my videos from the show.

We had a great time Saturday. Stayed for the whole show & loved every minute of it. I was not aware there was a "meet & greet" either the pilots after the show, so we stayed for that too!! My daughter is absolutely focused on being admitted to a service academy, so she got answers to a few questions about where to focus, course-wise, in high school. Can't wait for them to do it again!!

Yeah the Blues didn't stick around for us on Sunday, but meeting the Thunderbirds was awesome. Everyone kept asking about the sneak passes lol

Heat was not that bad on Sunday.
Clear, blue skies with lower humidity and a nice breeze on Sunday.
