There's no F35 demo this year. I recall a couple of years ago an F35 flying overhead, it was pure visceral terror. My body was chest was at a frequency generated by its engine.

What an experience!

The F-22 impressed us. In this photo, it is flying over the lake, which when compared to objects in the foreground shows how big it is. In the second photo, it flew vertically upward, was suspended for a moment to light off two flares, and briefly dropped line a stone before pulling out again. Dramatic stuff. These redditors have a bit more context on the significance of it flying here.
