Bad storms in the sout east really limited participation for this. I counted at most 18 mustangs. They flew 10 total in the performances. Two solo demos by lee lauderback and Andrew McKenna. Heritage flight with those two and the f-16 and the a-10. F-16 flew its demo during the mustang hour which was fine but limited mustang time. They flew 6 ship delta of mustangs on three passes and two diamond passes. Two b-25s went up and were escorted by two mustangs each on two or three passes. It was cool but obviously not what was anticipated. Weather can't be helped. It was a beautiful day though today and just seeing 10 stangs in the air was a real treat!

I've never seen Bum Steer, Lady B, or Mad Max in person. Very nice.
