This year’s show was headlined by the U.S. Navy’s Flight Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels. Also on display in the air were the world renowned aerobatic acts of Skip Stewart, Patty Wagstaff, Matt Chapman and Michael Goulian. Air Combat Command’s A-10 East Demonstration Team, QF-4 Phantom East team (who brought two QF-4s, one in green camo and the other in a ‘Euro One’ grey scheme), a local P-3 Orion from VP-30 (the “Pro’s Nest”) and the U.S. Army Special Operations Command Black Daggers Parachute Demonstration Team rounded out the active military displays in the air. Several warbirds also made appearances. The Horsemen Flight Team brought two P-51 Mustangs and two F8 Bearcats (although the Bearcats did not fly due to high winds). The Commemorative Air Force flew an SBD Dauntless, a Helldiver and a replica Mitsubishi Zero in an exciting demonstration that included a fair share of pyrotechnics. An A-4 Skyhawk flew a number of passes and then linked up with an F4U Corsair for a rare and spectacular formation flyby, followed by a solo performance by the Corsair. A T-28 Trojan and John Mohr’s PT-17 Stearman rounded out the flying schedule. The USAF Heritage Flight was flown by the A-10, QF-4 and one of the Horsemen’s P-51s. While not in the air, the Shockwave Jet Truck was also, as always, quite a spectacle. Skip Stewart, Patty Wagstaff and Shockwave returned to perform their joint demonstration called Tin Stix complete with amazing aerobatics and more pyrotechnics including a wall of fire. Finally, it was time for the Blue Angels to take to the air. As always, Fat Albert, the Blue Angels C-130T support aircraft with an all USMC crew, wowed the crowd with several maneuvers demonstrating the surprising agility and performance of the big transport. Then the Blue Angels took to the sky and performed as crisp and precise a demonstration as one can see at an air show. It was a perfect finale to an action packed show.
