Well the weather started out very pleasant. High overcast with temp in the mid 70's.
We launched 8 aircraft for the "WB Arrival" part of the show. During run-up we were able to see White Night 2 landing along with a DH Caribou.
Right after takeoff, I noted a BIG ass CB to the west and it didn't but a minute to figure it was headed right our way. I knew pretty quick that our flight time was going to be short and our TOT was out of the question.
Passing 500 feet my #3 (1-3) called for a return and landing because he had lost his alternator. Airboss gave him an immediate clearance to land. My #4 man moved up smartly.
Soon Airboss had his hands full trying to get a bunch of WB arrivals in ahead of that CB while we held just 4nm east of 27. Soon it became our turn and we were on the ground, tie down and debriefing in our tent when the rains came.
Block to block time was :45.
The rest of the entire show was rained out.
Forecast for tomorrow is about the same. 20 aircraft on the RPA line.
