It was a “black flag” day as far as weather safety conditions (very hot and humid), and a fair amount of people needed some medical assistance.

The show schedule repeated itself twice (morning & afternoon), since there’s no major military demo team.  It got a late start this morning due to low cloud conditions.
The show will also be held on Sunday.
