Altough the gates were just open the flying display started also at 5o'clock which let us to miss the Hornet demo. Other performers were the Showcopters, a F4U Corsair, the USAF Heritage flight which consisted of a F-16C, QF-4E and 2 Sabres, and parachute jumps by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command Black Daggers, Canadian Skyhawks and British Red Devils. Performing a Jet Assisted Take- Off (JATO) was the Blue Angels C-130 Hercules “Fat Albert”. The big final was Shockwave Jet Truck with three jet engines doing a 350MPH run in front of the Wall of Fire. Once the flying display was finished there was a huge fireworks.
Being my first evening/night show it was something special to witness.
