It was great to see all those Mustangs in the air at the same time. Also nice seeing a P-38 flying around. Too bad the A-36 had dive brake issues and Old Crow had an issue with it's Malcolm Hood. Otherwise a pretty good show.

Beautiful shots!!!! I wish I had a camera as good as yours..my sensor is pretty weak. I am assuming you were there on Sun? I don't remember seeing the P-38 at that angle, and the AT-11 didnt fly on the Sat. I was VERY disapointed to not see the A-36 fly, but everything else defiantely made up for it. We also had a minor issue with the HH-65 on Sat..They said they had an indication that stopped them from hovering and they had to make an emergency landing, but based odd what I saw..I think one of the engines failed..but that is not a sure thing. Just my $0.02.

Here are a few of my pics:

When did they send the AT-11 up? I was there Saturday, but my brother and I bugged out right before the Harrier demo (I have no interest in jets, and I was dog-tired). Too bad. Kinda would've liked to see that fly.

Oh well. Seeing Fifi was enough!
