I wonder whether it will rain this year... we attended the 2018 air show at Aalborg. It was in the midst of a heat wave, but on the day
it POURED with non-stop rain
I still managed to squeeze out an article for African Pilot magazine, for whom I was freelancing to cover the event

The weather forecast don't look too good. Cloudy & maybe light rain
No, the wake turbulence is behind the jets. In all of the flybys the P-51D was even with, or slightly in front of, the jets.

Almost certainly for that very reason!
With the formations set up they way they are, the aircraft are offset so they're not going to normally encounter wake turbulence from the other aircraft. They'd have to fly more of a close trail position and be flying lower than the position should be to hit the wake.
We flew in wake turbulence quite a bit during formations (C-130s). Large formations made it more difficult for the aircraft at the back to avoid the dirty air. Pilots tried to stay out of it for the most part, but sometimes it was unavoidable. Not horribly bad for us normally , but could certainly cause problems for smaller aircraft. Mountain wave turbulence on the other hand... at low-level in the mountains certain wind speeds would modify or cancel a training mission.

I just toured the restored and newly reopened Ford Island Control Tower at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. What a great view, but they asked us not to photograph the shipyard and dock area, so I couldn't take a panorama as I'd planned. :-( Still a spectacular view and we visited the museum after that. This is not a full view of the museum because I've been there often enough to shoot almost everything several different ways. Just trying to get different views from my previous visit.
