Thanks for sharing the pics guys, I hope to return to that show one day again, love that VFA-86 Hornet, and also the Harrier Boss. I still haven't seen a Harrier with the new 'Dark' scheme in persone yet. I was hoping they would stop by El Paso on the way back from this show, I was partially treated to one of them, he must have had technical issues as he was parked there for a couple days, but it was the one with the 'old school' paint, not the new style.
