Well, talk about disappointing. The F-22 Raptor was a no-show (excuse given was thunderstorms at Tyndall Air Force Base). In addition, there was no B-52, F-117, B-2, A-10, F-14 demo, or AV-8B Harrier demo, all of which were advertised as performing today.
Now I know that not all military assets are guaranteed to show up due to possible needs elsewhere, but this was a bit ridiculous. I wondered why the KC-10 did about 12 passes, must have been filling in for all the no-shows.
