Bluebonnet Air Show - AirShowBuzz.com Community
I attended the Bluebonnet Air Show, today. The show opened at 9:00 and I was there shortly after it opened. The flying started shortly after 12:00 and ended about 4:00.
The weather was a bit of a stinker (but not as bad as Tyndall on Saturday). It spit light rain off and on and there was a pretty good constant wind and was only around 60ish.
There was mostly warbirds flying and two noise makers, which were Randy Ball's Mig 17 (I got to meet him, today, for the first time and he was very pleasant and it was enjoyable listening to a couple stories he shared with me) and the A-10 West Demo Team.

Flying the CAP Cessna 182T - Capt Force Transitions to Glass from Airspeed
... But it makes a lot of sense. CAP is a professionally-run organization with big shoes to fill out. We do 90% of all Air Force supervised inland search and rescue in the United States and we need all of the sophisticated tools we can get. This airplane will help a competent pilot get to and from the search area quickly, accurately, and efficiently and it’ll fly the search pattern automatically to ATP standards. Then it’ll get everybody home for crew rest and to prep for the next sortie. If I’m going to be a valuable asset to the squadron, I need to be able to operate this aircraft to its full capabilities and that’s what this training is all about. ...
