SImply awesome pictures! I saw similar things this year at EAA which lucky for me is about 3 miles from my house and most night can sit in the driveway wth a cold one and watch the planes fly over my house all week!

That is an event I have always wanted to attend. Maybe next year we can make the trip and watch from the shore somewhere.

Great pic's and vid's. Thanks for sharing them.

I couldn't go to the air & water show, but I did see a lot of the practicing on Friday, including the guys in this photo.

Very cool seeing 3 different types of jets flying in close formation with a prop job (in the lead).

Friday is a great day to be out there, the practice is pretty much the show as on the weekend and the crowds are much smaller.

That picture is the Heritage flight. In that picture it's an F15 on top, P51 right under him, an F16 next, followed by an A10. It was odd this year, usually you'll see something a bit newer like an F22 raptor but apparently they are all "busy" right now.
