Flying Display of the show was kind of weak this year for Military aircraft so will show some of the highlights which include the solo demo from a single T-38A ( own by Ross Perot JR) wearing the USAF Thunderbird markings, he did some really nice banana passes which gives us good top side shots. Viper demo from USAF was quite good but the lighting was getting bad by the time the F-16 flew. USAF Heritage flight was done with the single F-16C and a P51D.
