I like the shot of the P51 and the F22.
Last year they had an FA18 and the P51.

It was a great show
![]()
(I went on Saturday) . I left a little late (about noon from my house) and while heading west on Ocean Pkwy I could see the dazzling display the F-22 was performing
![]()
. I pulled over on the shoulder right next to Zach?s Bay until the F-22?s performance was over.
I thought it was cool that the P-51 escorted the F-22 out at the end, best of their respective times flying together.

I then got back into the vehicle and was planning on parking in the lot but it sure was packed

, so I just pulled onto the shoulder just east of the water tower. (Piker parking
)
A short walk later I was between the announcer?s stand and the LOUD pa system they had set up
![]()
. They played some great rock (A couple of Metallica?s
![]()
) and country tunes and that made the show rock even more!
The plus side to my Piker parking was after the show was over I had no problem getting turned around on Ocean Pkwy to head home. Not much traffic at all and I was home by 3:20

Sure you could see it from Zach?s Bay but being at center point gives you a much better view of the stunts. I took a few rolls of film but have not yet dropped them off for developing. (old 35mm camera) I will drop them off today and hopefully got some good photos again.

Koz, I think I got a Pic of you on the shoulder. That's Ocean Pkwy with the cars on the shoulder just east of the needle.
You might be right, that is right about where I parked. Actually I really think that might be me just above the boat with the radar antenna. I was driving a red SUV and popped the back door to keep my ?refreshment? out of sight.
I stayed there and watched the P-47?s then the stunt plane. I took the walk as soon as I saw the Blue Angels C-130. I made it to ?center point? about a minute before The Blue Angeles appeared.

The f22 raptor was incredible.
So was the good humor guy busy? Great idea!
Yep, he spent a good 15 minutes at our group of boats. I think we cleaned out half his stock and the kids thought it was awesome that an ice cream boat showed up.
