Looks like Bill Stein, Kevin Coleman and Rob Holland will be performing a 3-ship aerobatic display.

Friday through Sunday looking sunny and warm to hot. Practice Friday (almost no crowd) is 10AM to 3PM.

Checked out the practice. The F-16 Viper team flew in a backup jet. The real Viper appears this weekend. I also asked if there was a chance for flare dumps and he said no. Bummer. They did flares before this show and will do 3 more after. Chi would have been perfect with the lake...

Bummer about no flares. I was going to drive up tomorrow if they were going to use them.

Is it. Don't know why they skipped Chicago, unless there was resistance by the local government to permit it. Wouldn't be surprised since they are so woke and may think the flares can be a danger to the city at large. Heck, Gary had flare dumps with the F-35 a couple weeks ago!kalamazookid wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 2:21 pm Bummer about no flares. I was going to drive up tomorrow if they were going to use them.
