I sure did Vulcan. In fact, I work at the air show every year. I've been volunteering for about 8 years now. (great way to see 3 air shows for free!)
The T-Birds modified their routine in the last couple of years. It's a high energy show and should give the Blues a run for their money.
Saturday it rained off and on and Sunday it was clear and 80 degrees; so that's why you see some clouds in some clips and not others.
That F-18 broke the sound barrier on it's first pass Saturday as he came in and backed off on it half way through. With the rain moving in, I think the air was a bit denser than anticipated making the threshold was lower. He really put on a great show.
There was just a lot of cool stuff this year; like Robosaurus. He's that big thing that burned and ripped the car in half.
#0, incidentally, the F-117 has been retired and the A-10s are getting the C upgrade have about 10 more years of life if not more!!

We have a KR aircraft event this weekend here where I live.
Sadly it has been marred by 2 accidents already.

It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.
