On Sunday there would be a B-2 demo but also an almost complete overcast sky.
The show was traditionally opened by a para dropping (out of a Ramstein C-130J) and the singing of the national anthem by someone who would not make it through The Voice of America blind auditions.
Aviation Nation is build around themes and the first theme was WWII. Amongst these aircraft was this beautiful B-25.

It was followed by an impressive C-17 Globemaster demo.

Next theme was the Korean era with a Skyraider, MiG-15 and F-86


After that the airfield was under attack by some aggressor aircraft. F-16's and F-15's took off to defend the airspace.


Two DM A-10's took part in a close air support demo.

Then it was Phantom time finally. This Holloman bird took off from the far runway but made a fantastic full circle take-off.



Well actually, before the Phantom landed it took part in a nice past-to-present jet formation

The show ended with a Thunderbirds show. These are some of their signature passes.



This was just a small selection of all aircraft participating.
