What happened to the F/A-18?

After a very impressive and tight display the F/A-18 landed but there appeared to be a problem as it was about to leave. He started her up and idled for about twenty minutes, cycling the flaps a dozen times or more whilst testing every control surface continually before shutting her down. Was there any announcement over the PA as to what the problem was? Unfortunately we had to leave.

A great day nonetheless. Connie was once again Queen of the Skies, the Black Cat, The Roulettes very generous half hour gig...

...and it just wouldn't be an airshow without the sound of one of these:
