Hope your weather cooperates. I got to see the Blue Angels from the air today as they arrived in Cleveland, we were about 5 miles away approaching a different airport for landing. Pretty cool to have the controller call out traffic as "a flight of 6 F-18's".
BTW, the remnants of Isaac are supposed to arrive here Saturday and may completely rain out this year's show up here.

No idea mate,
The website this year is not listing what is going to be on static display.

Just got back from the show. Static a/c was on the sparse side. Had a E-6 Mercury from Tinker, a EA-6 from VAQ-129, A E-2C, C-2 from Norfolk, a few hornets on display a seahawk from HSC-25, and a few others. Was very disappointed. The Blue's were great even though it was overcast. Red Devils jumped twice so that was nice.
Hopefully next year will be better. Unless the budget ax hits.
Thanks

I had forgotten it was this weekend. It seems the show there has been weak the last few years with weather issues, I haven't even bothered trying to make it the last few years, they really need to consider moving it towards the spring or summer in the future.
