Sorry, I misread your question. the squadron nickname is "The Sunsetters" ant the symbol is a setting sun.

Finally getting a chance to get back at this - spent last weekend in Memphis putting on 5 pounds of beer & BBQ. OK - here's a few more. Thanks for the nice comments re: the first batch.

First, it was nice to see the Aeroshell group as a 4-ship again. I heard that Alan was there but didn't get a chance to see him.

Then, a few of the Golden Knights:

And some ground shots:

And some more ground-to-air from the Friday show:

All for now - I have to crop some of the rest before I post. See you next week...

Actually, it is the Sundowners. Got their nickname in World War II. Shot down a hell of a lot of Zeros in their Wildcats and Hellcats.
They are now an aggressor squadron based in Key West.

I tried to get a 2 for 1, but I missed.
I would have had the 24 during a runup, and the Mustang landing.

Maybe next time?
