    Thought some folks might like to see the flight plan in case you are in a good place to see or have the time etc.

    They said the times may change due to weather.

    They'll be in Austin afterwards.

    It would be cool to see if it works out.

    San Antonio!
    Saw them from the Santikos Theater in Alamo Ranch. The parking lot was pretty crowded but everyone kept their distance. The only ones I noticed wearing masks were the two young guys driving around in a golf cart (security?). Didn't catch the T-birds as they flew over Helotes and down Bandera Road, but saw them cutting over towards 151 then they looped to the south of where we were then came back and flew directly over us. It was a six-ship formation with a non-T-bird two-seater trailing (most likely with a Combat Camera guy or gal in the back). Couldn't tell if it was also from Nellis or a local 149 FW bird. I would guess the latter.

    It was cool, but it was just a formation flyby and over with in a minute.

    Not the best video as U-Tube decreased the quality, but you get the idea...

    I grabbed a couple of pics when they transited New Braunfels up to Austin.

    They flew right over the hospital, and we had a great view. It was inspiring for sure, not just he flyover, but all the people that turned out to watch. The went smoke-on as they overflew the people.
