Like any good military airshow the military had to "show off" with parachute drops and a simulated ground attack. The Marines sure do have a lot of helicoptors. Throw in a Harrier and Osprey and they gave the best show.

The Air Force was there with an F-16, proving once again the the F-16 is the loudest jet in the world. Not to be out done the Navy sported a Hornet. By the way, neither jet was overhead in the pics. The Hornet retracting its gear was actually performing a roll and both jets were flying sideways a number of times.

I should note that the flying was done along the runway. Grandstands were set up beside the runway and behind the stands were the static displays, vendors, and those of us who didn't make it to the stands.
