WOW ... two big loud engine planes just flew over my place and dammit all, inside I couldn't see a thing! BTW its very cloudy/overcast today ... might explain the low flying??? The planes arriving and readying for the big show starting tomorrow I guess.

I just saw one!!! I think its the one showing just under the date 21. Looked like the same plane.... flew straight then made a sharp wing dip and a turn towards the airport. How exciting!!!! Guess it's practicing for tomorrow!

Am disappointed I missed seeing the snowbirds flyover us just after lunch,
but I'm sure I'll catch them tomorrow if they fly this way...
