Rich, I was there again today as well and completely agree. MUCH different and better show. Lots of new things in today's show. One thing after another. Very exciting show. Water was packed today too! I've gone every year and today was by far, the most crowded show ever.
I also really lucked out after the show. Was driving some of my boat guest back home and we took a ride by Republic Airport. Got to watch the Angels take off for their next destination. That was an incredible experience. Everything is done in sync with tremendous professionalism. The air show performance is one thing. Watching them take off for their next location is another special experience. They acknowledge the crowd on the way out, wave from their cockpits and take off four in a row, followed by two and then one. Awesome.
Great boating weekend so far. Great air show stuff.
