As many of you might know there is supposed to be High winds for sat the 4th. So my question is will the show still go on?

Doubt it. My wife and I were going to ditch the kids and head up there but have decided to cancel due to the crappy weather on Saturday......

I did see the Blues practicing this afternoon while on the East side. I parked the semi for about half an hour and watched from a spot on East 55th.

Depends on a number of factors - wind is one but also ceiling and visibility.  The Blues can fly a flat show with as little as a 1500 ft ceiling and 3 miles viz.  Looks like ceilings are forecast between 3100-6500ft Saturday and viz forecast at greater than 6 miles so as forecast I'd say no high show obviously - just have to see what the weather does.

West winds tomorrow for arrivals. Most likely they will come in on 24R then. Not sure if I want photos of landing aircraft or when they roll out to the end. I got some nice ones last year of the roll outs. Most likely I will probably go to E9th st pier then. But might head over to 55th for afternoon.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

They wouldn't cancel unless there is heavy rain making flying unsafe. Wind has minimal affect. If it's that windy, it's usually raining.

From talking to Boss after the Saturday show he said that the winds were just on the edge of what they could fly with.  They waited until they were on the runway to check the winds before making the final call to fly the show.
