Why couldn't they get a display pilot over to fly the F22?
Couldn't even bring in an F15 to take its place in the sky?

747 was on the schedule list on the website for Friday. Apparently it flew out before the gates opened at 2pm?

C17 didnt fly on friday. Fair enough the NZ 757 wasn't there that I can understand...

Yet again no russian jets... wouldn't want to upstage the americans

All in all I was hoping for a better airshow as the last 2 were let downs. Nothing new.

Result? Less than the previous year. Doesn't help theres no F111 or Caribou flying anymore. Just shortened the list even more.

Not to mention no time table except for the one in the information booth. Amazingly you could take a photo of it on your phone for free to reference later. those $10 airshow books didnt even have a time table. it was just a rough guide - same thing as on the website.

Fail.
