Haven't been here in a few years but really enjoyed this year's show, except for the heat and humidity on Saturday.
Here is the only photo I've got to so far, more coming later.

It was a good show and feels like NWM is on the right track to build up this show to make it bigger and better each year (hopefully). It was awesome to see the Tora team in Geneseo, especially growing up watching this video of the 89 show.



Can't believe I missed all of my fellow Wixers! We were parked in the Red Zone and only made one loop around the grounds before the heat really set in and we retreated back to the car. We didn't even make it across the taxiway to the rest of the birds! Our group was so burnt and tired by the end of the show we had to return to the hotel and jump in the pool. It was nice seeing the Helldiver fly over afterwards selling rides while floating around, but I wish we had rallied and made it back down there for the evening. But we were just too tired unfortunately.
