There were two loud explosions about an hour apart today, followed by black mushroom clouds on the base today. I haven't been able to raise anybody on 2 meters that were there to witness them. It doesn't look good.

Depending on who was doing the flying acts they will hire a professional pyrotechnic contractor or have one that travels with them & simulate some kind of air to ground attack with huge fireballs and explosions

Complete normal on AF bases for air shows.
I'm very glad to hear that none of the pilots or spectators were harmed.

I miss air shows, the AF base here does not have a runway and only a few helicopters assigned to the base & thus don’t have a air show 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

I might have to go to the "Thunder Over Michigan" show @ Willow Run Airport July 20-21.
I've got a hook in the Yankee Air Museum that could pave the way to see some behind-the -scenes accessible stuff.
