Off to watch planes!

Some of the aircraft have started to arrive for tomorrow's airshow at Randolph AFB. I was *trying* to get a lawn done (I did finish it, suprisingly enough) as some F-16s and F-18s were flying overhead and doing some neat stuff.
I'm hoping to see the LSFM B-17 Thunderbird come in as well as some other planes. The CAF is supposed to be bringing FIFI and Diamond Lil (along with some other planes) this year which (if they actually show) will be the first time in a while. Looks to be a good show and I hope that it will all be safe.
Also of note is a 15-ship flyover scheduled for tomorrow of T-37 trainers commemorating 50 yrs of service for that aircraft. It'll be a sad day (for me) when they've completely switched over the AF to the new T-6 Texan IIs (thought they are really nice planes, too) but maybe then they'll let some private buyers fly them.
