We were in utterly the wrong spot. The map they released showed them right over our neighborhood, and that was anything but the case. Oh well, I’ll just have to catch them at the next pandemic. A friend got some good shots. I’ll share them after he sends them to me.

Gotta know where the landmarks they are basing it off of are. Too bad the person here who would enjoy them the most missed it.

I just based it off of the may they released. The map showed them flying right over our heads, when in reality they were too far to either side and below the tree line. Oh well, I’ve seen them before.

Same exact thing for me. It would be a matter of a half a mile between perfect and nothing, but I live in a somewhat hilly area with some taller trees.

Yeah, just spent the last hour or so outside, waiting...
One Southwest flight flew into AIBA. A nice flock of birds flew over.

Well that sucks. I’d say “ better luck next time”, but at this point I’d really rather the next time is at a proper airshow....

I got to chat with the neighbors I haven’t seen in a while. I’ll just look at the pictures on DVIDS .

They had a last minute flight path change?

That route map was shit. After buzzing Cedar Park, they came south along Loop 1 but were so far to the west that they were below the trees. Then they looped back northward to the east of I-35, then were supposed to come down between MoPac and I-35. Instead, they flew right down I-35 and were too far to the east for me to see them. Those who were right on I-35 got a great view, and a family friend posted a video from Zilker where they had a fantastic view. There were also a shitload of people at Zilker. What social distancing??

Yup, my wife was a home in Georgetown and they were l iterally suppose to cross paths over our house... how cool would that be? BUT, she never even heard them.
The roof of the parking garage next door had like 200 people all huddled together waiting.

They all follow the lead plane. Perhaps the lead plane lost his marks.

I thought of that, or that the map just wasn’t very accurate. When the good photos from friends started showing up, I realized that I had been really dumb about where I went to watch. I should have either gone downtown or to the top of a hospital parking garage. But the map showed them going right over my house, so.....
