Wow, was that Right Wingman (#2) out of again this weekend?  I'm noticing his absense in two of your pics.  And doesn't look like he landed, as you've got pics of him there, and gone within just a couple flyby's.  Interesting!

And cool shots of the Delta formation!  When I saw them in August, due to the logistics of the site, they didn't do any Delta maneuvers, except the Delta Loop Break, and jus the Delta Break (where they all do the carrier break to land).  

Fun stuff, lookin' forward the the rest of your pics.

That's cool... yeah, that guy.   He must have swapped jets awefully fast!  Every time I've seen them do that, takes a good 1/2 fo 3/4 of the show to get the other jet in there.   It's amazing to see how they just seemlessly join back up.  

and it's a great pic, maybe just play aroun' with it with some photo editor.

Not sure if they swapped or not lol but no matter what it was a sight to behold.

I thought about going again today but I am burnt to a crisp and allergic to sunscreen, so its better that I stay indoors today lol
