Why couldn't they get a display pilot over to fly the F22?
Because there is only one authorised display pilot, and he is currently training a new guy to be the display pilot (but I guess he is no longer 'the display pilot'). Unfortunate, but even on the ground they looked great.
Something about displays being risky business

I'm currently tending to some pretty bad sunburn from the airshow.
Photos to come soon!
