Starting off the day with one of the Misty Blues. Who are the only all Female Parachute team! It was amazing. If you want more photos, PM me

Next up Is Nathan (Richard?!) Hammond’s Super Chipmunk doing the things

Now we Coasties doing Coastie things, they sent him down, did a circle, and did a Rescue Exercise. It was amazing

An F-16 from The 177th Air National Guard, Designated “Jersey Devils” giving me some Vapors

And now, your favorite Chrome Michelle. The one, the only, PANNNNNNNNNNCHITOOOOOO


A flight of 2 Texans doing some close formation Loops. They did a heart but I couldn’t get back enough

A ‘Cat doing Cat things. Must have gone 340 Kts in a dive after this

A wing walker living their best life

And finally. A Soviet MIG-17. My grandfather (Navy Vet) told me they were faster than the F-86 Sabre, so the Sabre Pilots would throw their Slats and Flaps and the mig account slow down enough. Basically the concept “hit the brakes and he’ll fly right by”
