The Blue Angels, Red Arrow's, a few F-35's and F-22's were just here in Chicago last weekend for the Air and Water Show.
Unfortunately the weather was less than cooperative so all we saw were some fly-by's of each. Still, it was darn impressive to see them all and I'll say this: those F-35's and F-22's are sure noisy! Damn, it vibrated right through us on the boat while we were out on Lake Michigan.
Hope the weather for this event is much, much better than we had in Chicago. I'm pretty sure the pilots were as disappointed as we were with the weather although the low fly-by's made for some good video and great pictures!

They had 11 F4U corsairs flying. Doesn’t sound all that impressive
ONE F4U is impressive

This sounds like a photo op more than an aerial display. Recall AF1 doing the same over Manhattan when the kenyan was POTUS.

I worked at PW in the experimental airfoil group during the development of the PW5000 now known as the F119 engine. There is a reason it’s noisy.. Power generated in a small tube = noise by the exiting gases. The only thing we didn’t get it to do was having the engine whistle Dixie during spin up.

When they went overhead at @ 1,000 feet or less because the cloud ceiling was so low. It was DAMN' impressive and DAMN' noisy! Shook us, the boat, the water, etc.. Then the spent fuel vapor trail came down on us. LOL! GF couldn't take it, I on the other hand loved the entire experience.
Nothing more American than that, IMO. God Bless and keep our Military!!

I’ve got the DVR going on it. Was leaving for a Wound Care Clinic Appointment just as it came on. If nobody puts it on Scru-U-toob I’ll see if I can edit out that time line, I set the DVR FOR 1 hour.

Outstanding videos. Quite the inventory, especially the opening act- a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom jet. It could be flying out of Nellis AFB as part of their Warsaw Pact/Soviet era OPFOR assets.
Thanks!

Actually it was only about 20 seconds and a very long distance shot.
