Very cool! I have always been a fan of aviation - especially military aviation. That slow pass of the C-17 Globemaster is remarkable. I thought maybe it your slow-mo camera, but noticed people walking by at a normal pace. It was difficult to tell, but I'm guessing the headliners were the Canandian Snowbirds? I was fortunate to have seen them about 20 years ago when they co-headlined here with the Blue Angels - that was an incredible show!

Thanks for the vid, Bill!

it was super hot that day. after the airshow a fire broke out closing the freeway for hours. we had to thread the car back through backroads and farm roads to get home.
so yeah the snow birds were the grand finale. i guess they were amazing i mean they dont fly as fast as the usaf thunderbirds but they are very incredible to watch.
all in all it was a pretty cool airshow. a lot of things seemed to be missing tho. there was no stealth fly passes and the b52 that was supposed to be there did not show up.
a great day allthough extremely hot.
drank water non stop yet never had to make a pitstop kind of hot.
i was damn pleased i had the umbrella in the trunk otherwise we would have to bail. stupidly i wore a tank top and no hat. i mean big mistake lol.
kept throwing the sunscreen on but still got burnt to hell. lol

Very nice video bill, my last Airshow was Sydney in 1970, the F111s did a low flyover, I was six years old and sitting on my dads shoulders, and was so shite-scared I fell off.

Nice version of "She's Lost Control" too.

there was some intense low fly by passes during this show.
the thunderbirds were pretty amazing . they had a few old aircraft there this year. bizarre tho how few of those old planes exist anymore. that lancaster doing the simulated bombing runs in the beginning is one of two still flying.
