Gonna be hot there late July  temps can be in the 90's everyday and at times the humidity is in the 90's as well, could make for some uncomfortable days in the summer.

I think the SD ANG guys did the So Cal Alert for a while out of March ARB.  Have to check my t-shirt collection as I bought one when they were deployed here to So Cal.

The National anthem was palyed at 11:00Am followed be skydivers brining in the Flag. Melisa Pemberton was the first flyer in her Edge 540 that is painted mostly blue on top and the bottom of the wings in a red and gold checker board. Manfred Radious was next in a aerobatic sailplane H101 Salto. Next was Michael Wiskus in a bright orange Pitts Special with Lucas Oil Sponsorship. The Rhode Island ANG was next doing a low level demo flying a C-130J Hercules aircraft. The South Dakota  ANG did a brief demo of their F-16 Vipers. Then came Jim Pietz flying a 300HP Bonanza. Followed by the F-22 Raptor. The F-22 poton an impressive demo at one time looking like the aircraft was nearly stopped with only engine thrust keeeping the aircraft aloft. The  F-22 was joined be a P-38 Lightening for the Heritage Flight.
